Is Mehrunes Dagon pronunciated:
Day-Gun
or
Day-Gone

Thanks for any replies.

I think it's the first but Colovian hicks probebly use the second.

Okay thanks. I'm making a poem (it rhymes) and I needed to know which it was.

Turns out I don't even need it, but thanks anyways.

There is a long, proud history to Colovian Hick pronunciations. Done-mer instead of Dune-mer (though apparently nowadays even the Dunmer are hicks in this regard), Old-Mary the Aldmeri...

I'm completely confused that someone asked how to say Dagon before you asked how to say Mehrunes. Mehrunes confused the hell outta me the first time I saw it. I was honestly saying it like "may-ROON-ez."

Dagon itself has appeared outside of TES. I've never seen the word Mehrunes anywhere else.

Yeah, because he was really going to rhyme something with Mehrunes. :rolleyes: :


Prunez!

From a H.P. Lovecraft enthusiast it is most certainly Day-gone though I have heard that the correct Hewbrew pronunciation is in fact dah-gone.

The last one. I hadn't even thought that someone would say it day-gone. Maybe dag-ahn.

What about Sigillum Sanguis? I'm not even going to try. I say it like sang - guis (as in kiss).
Is there a correct pronunciation for this?

dā'gŏn would appear to be it according to most sources I've found which is day-gone.

That would be correct. It's a conjugation of sanguine (the latin word, not the daedra). San-gween becomes San-gwiss.

Although, I do rather enjoy calling it the Sigillum Sammich, as in baloney sammich.
