What was all that about the word not being meant to pronounce?

I always figured it was pronounced something like that. I know it's ehlnofex (sp?) but I pronounced the "ch" as in "chimer", which is the first few letters in "chimera", so I pronounced it the same, as well. The big question to me was short I or long I. I guess that's solved, too. As for the signature, it was far too funny to pass up, even though I knew all along the pronunciation was wrong. Honestly, who would take a word like CHIM seriously if it had a soft CH at the front. It would just sound silly. Anyway, I'd change the sig, but I can't at work. I can't access my controls or check my messages because the school I work for uses this annoying IPCop program that arbitrarily picks sites to block. At least it seems arbitrary, since they blocked the front page of Wal-Mart.com, and I know there's no porm or foul language on there. LOL. Anyway, I'll get around to changing it if anyone has a prob with it. I kinda' like it, tho. Fun with homonyms. YAY!

So actually we pronounce your signature: "Kim kim-iney kim kim charoo"?

Or is it kim kim-iney kim kim karoo?

NO! this is the last time i'll say this!!! his profile would be pronounced: Sorkalamons-tombetkahnuewEstavizshksuhh-visakallomiouT10101010101010101010101010101...continuing... Sorkalamons-tombetkahnuewEstavizshksuhh-visakallomiouT10101010101010101010101010101...continuing... iney Sorkalamons-tombetkahnuewEstavizshksuhh-visakallomiouT10101010101010101010101010101...continuing... Sorkalamons-tombetkahnuewEstavizshksuhh-visakallomiouT10101010101010101010101010101...continuing... charoo!

as you can see, it would be impossible seeing as how the binary keeps continuing infinitly.. you cant pronounce something infinite, it would be a never ending tone.. so the words after one CHIM would be words after infinity, "-iney" in "chim-iney" would be the syllables after the infinity after the words after the infinity. and charoo would be the word coming after the infinity after the noise after the infinity after the noise after the syllables after the infinity after the noise after the infinity after the noise that sounds like: Sorkalamons-tombetkahnuewEstavizshksuhh-visakallomiouT. This would be impossible. END OF STORY.

They're all girls' names. Shor, CHIM, Aless, Perrif, Orlyan, Shonni-Et.

Wait. Who?

They probably dumped him when he drank too much malt liquor, and began suffering earth shattering mountain farts that blew holes in the bed's pillow top while simultaneously disintegrating the comforter.

Since this occurs regularly, and the stench is only made bearable by considerable abuse of cheap cigarettes (and perhaps some Clove flavor ones as well), and even MORE booze, it produces a downward spiral in which the female principle cannot endure, and must retreat back to the Aetherius.

Eventually however, he will experience the female tomboy principle, who drinks the malt liquor, produces earthquake farts to counter the mountain ones, and lights up cuban cigars-- and is able to thrive in the "Creative environment" which he prefers.


Until that day however, we'll have a sixually frustrated Pelinial Whitestrake shooting everybody with killing light, while watching his nephew morihaus shag the pretty lady with secret envy. ;)

Nah. You pronounce it exactly how you pronounce PSJJJJ. You don't. j/k

I'd change it, since I've managed to bypass the IPCop at work, now, but I'm too lazy and unimaginative to create a new one. At least one that's not already trite.

I could go with something like "Finding the Myrth in the Myth since 1981" (Yes, I know TES hasn't been around that long, I was referring to myself). And the parenthetical is the reason I don't use that one. LOL. That would get bothersome to repeat everytime someone felt the need to point out that TES wasn't around in '81. Maybe I should start a thread on the community boards and take suggestions. Maybe a voting thread. Awww... hell with it. I'm keeping the now-unpronounceable wordplay. Yes, Puns usually involve homophones, but since this is a text-based communication form, homonyms work equally well. :shrug:

I have as well. Although, CHIM is ehlnofex IIRC. CHIMer isn't documented as to which language it comes from. I wouldn't be surprised to find out the words have similar origins. After all, CHIM is tantamount to apotheosis (of sorts) and enlightenment. This would result in a "changed" individual. CHIMer means changed folk. It's eerily similar, yet different. As I said, I believe the origins of the words are similar, but the usage evolved in a parallel fashion, creating two unrelated words that are based on the same concept.

Chi - changed
mer - folk
chim - royalty
So these words have different root.

Use the concept of the word and not the definition, as well as http://www.imperial-library.info/obscure_text/vehk_teaching.shtml#7 it's not a stretch connecting Chi- with Chim.

All known languages besides Hist have root in Ehlnofex, which has root in [what I like to call] et'Adaic, or Aurbic.

Isn't creativity *a* female principle? And doesn't the female principle *always* endure?

And down Proweler, you know full well I can defend myself, even if some fat wretched Idnisav shows up someday... I did not choose to leave this forum for you to continue fighting here. Through all this I have been very ill and even hospitalized, and after knowing how much I could have lost, no petty squabble such as this is really worth my time or yours. If some folks here want to let it linger, that's their sorrow, but me, I've got things to achieve in my lifetime and the talent/means to do it. Good luck to all of you I hope you find yourselves able to make equally wise decisions.

"Kai"? I really dunno. One of the joys of Oblivion was hearing them pronounce the word "Daedra". Imperials pronounce them as "deedra" while some pronounce them as "day-dra". Just hope they mentioned more in Oblivion.

I've always pronounced it "Kim". And Chimer as "Kymer/Kaimer" becuase of the E after M.

I mean Chih-mer just sounds crap, and Kimmer just sounds bad too.

Think MK himself said CHIM is pronounced "Kim," which has permeated probably thousands of posts by now.

Chimer is pronounced "Ki-MARE" in the Dunmer accent, which isn't really prevalent in any game.

Indeed.

Man, if you have a question, just make a new thread. I knew something was wrong when I saw a thread I had never even seen before already had 4 pages....
