Input! Yours. Requested.

All righty, then.

Steve and I will be doing, sometime this fall, even sometime this October, an audio pronunciation guide to the Liaden Universe®. Yes! You will be able to hear us speak those words that you have only seen in writing and always wanted to know how to say.

But you have to help us.

Liaden is our second language. We have no idea which words are head-scratchers. Which is why we need your help.

Tell us what words you would like us to include in this new! audio! guide.

Lists appended to this entry only, please (on Facebook, LJ, or here at sharonleewriter.com). Lists appended to other blog-or-facebook entries, or lists sent to me, or to Steve, by email will be ignored.

Thank you.

. . .let the games begin.

Edited to add: Requests for “all of them” will be treated as so much wind in the trees.  We are looking for a list from you of the words you wish to hear pronounced.  This is no time for laziness, ladies and gentlemen.  The authors are lazier than all of you put together.

This policy brought to you in part by the gentlemen reader who wished to insist that the word “adumbration” was Liaden.

Thank you for your understanding, The Management.
