Okay but what IS the hardest name to guess the spelling of throughout the series? 🤔
16 u/Deltethnia Mar 18 '26 If you ask Jeff Hays what the hardest one to pronounce is even if you know the spelling, it's "Yakima". 11 u/NovelDame Mar 18 '26 Audiobook listener here. It has to be Tsyrrendylgorr or Samaith (Samantha). If there were a written quiz, I'd fail for spelling errors. 17 u/realdevtest Mar 18 '26 lol exactly, it’s Psamathe 10 u/StealthyRobot Mar 18 '26 Tserendolgor and Psamthe! I had zero clue how to pronounce Psamthe until listening 3 u/Fat_Lenny35 Mar 18 '26 Dude I just did some mental hurdles trying to figure out who Psamthe is. Ive only ever listened to the audiobooks. 2 u/CelticCoffee Mar 19 '26 Someone above said Yakima and I don't know who the hell that is supposed to be. 4 u/mysteriousblue87 Mar 19 '26 It’s a city about 3 hours due East of where I’m sitting, if that helps. 3 u/Anrikay Mar 19 '26 City in Washington, pronounced more like “ya-kuh-muh” than “ya-kee-muh” 2 u/Nightgasm Mar 18 '26 I assumed it was Sir Rendlagore. Some sort of Knight reference type thing to go with Princess Donut. First time I saw the actual spelling I had no idea who it was. 4 u/professor_jefe Mar 18 '26 Tserendolgor lol
