Pronunciation Notes (#ulink_2ce29e05-2040-5d64-b2cc-4ddde0dbf0b3)

Vowels are divided by Deverry scribes into two classes: noble and common. Nobles have two pronunciations; commons, one.

A as in father when long; a shorter version of the same sound, as in far, when short.

O as in bone when long; as in pot when short.
