I've never understood how to properly pronounce his name...
But yes, he is indeed an awesome character. Nice thread.
Hm. I've always pronounced it "Ray-tas", one; because it's easy, two..."Hruu-tas" as I heard it in the Long Road Home video sounded...I dunno, it sounded kind of cool but difficult-ish to say, haha.Vociferous pronounced it "Arr-tas" in one of his documentaries. It seems there is no official annunciation. But just because I like Vociferous, I'll stick with it.
Tbh that is the way I say it now as well. "Ar-tas" sounds better; Oortaz...meh. I'm a lazy speaker anyway, I am guilty of saying "Mi-Gol-Neer" for Mjolnir until recently.
For silly reasons I didn't like calling him Ar-tas. Heh.
Mjolnir...That was just damn confusing when I first heard of it. It left me like "lolwut?", and then recently I found out its something like "Meel-nor" or...yeah. Something like that.
