    Edit: Actually... no Mhun there... but there should be!

    You pull down your pants and Mhun the world.

    I always thought munn, if you're talking basic phonetics.
    (D.M.A.): Cooper says, "Kyrra is either the most innocent person in the world, or the girl who uses the most innuendo seemingly unintentionally but really on purpose."

    I mentally pronounce it as a short double o sound, like book/soot/good. Not like room/food/cool, which are long double o sounds. The closest rhyme or similar word I could find was the first syllable of mujahideen.

    I think I say it like @Blujixapug - like "moon" but with a slightly shortened middle of the syllable.

    Greyskin, as opposed to pinkskin, which refers to humans. All you mammals look pretty much the same.

    /mʊn/

    Silent h, vowel like the u in "put" or the first syllable of "woman", which for me, at least, is the same as in book/soot/good.

    Muun.

    BODY IS NOT 1 CHARACTERS TOO SHORT!!!!!!

    I pronounce it as something pretty close to "moon", mostly because I don't like how any of the alternatives sound.

    The pronunciation of Targossas was different than I thought, but I still don't know the correct way to pronounce Mhun, and it seems everyone has their own answer.

    M-H-U-N, that spells "ready!"

    I think it's Mun. Rhymes with bun.

  • KasyaKasya Tennessee
    Thanks for the official clarification!

    I'm still going to say Mhaldor how I want to and just blame it on a speech impediment. 

  • KryptonKrypton shi-Khurena
    ... How do you say it? I presumed it was "mall-door" even before the pronunciation guide.

    Do you say "mall-der"?
  • SarapisSarapis
    Mall-door.
  • KlendathuKlendathu Eye of the Storm
    Mall as in Pall Mall? ;)

    meowdor
  • TitonusTitonus Youngstown, Ohio
    I'm the same. Mal-door for life,

  • JacenJacen
    Mal-door and mjoons, like the first syllable of mjolnir. Rhymes with soon.

    I have a propensity for pronouncing written names completely incorrectly.

    I will forever pronounce Mhaldor as Mal-door. Sorry!
    But that's the correct pronunciation! Not sure why you're apologizing!
