How do you pronounce Bolganone?

[Tamanoir]

For myrmidon, I pronounce it [miʁmidɔ̃], cause I'm french.

And Bolganone... I'm surprised people could find difficulty with it, honnestly.

I pronounce it as it's written : Bol - gah - nohn

[Thor Odinson]

isn't bolganone a latin word for volcano

It is not

Volcano comes from Latin Vulcan, god of fire

I can't find etymology on Bolganone

I always assumed it was a bad translation of Volcanon.

Has anyone tried finding anything from the kana? It might be a case of something being Japanese-ified strangely and that getting lost when it is pulled back into English. The kana does suggest bowl-guh-known, though.

[Book Bro]

Wouldn't the kana suggest "none" not "known"? Since ノ has no U sound at the end. Anyway that's how I say it, Bol like bolt ga like gap none like none.

[Rewjeo]

Going off of a "normal" American dialect, it suggests "known" over "none." The "none" sound would probably be ナ based on my experience. This should hold true for Aussies, Brits, and Canadians from what I know, too. Of course, "known" could be pronounced as anything from non to nəoʊn, but I think that's still a better approximation for the sound of the kana than nʌn.

[amadeuscho]

When eve I see Bolganone, I think of Bologna. And that's how I pronounce it.

or BOWLGANONDORF.

Volcanon was in the fantranslation patch of FE4 IIRC but then it turned into Bolganone for official localisation in the DS games

I dunno Volcanon imo makes far more sense considering it's a fire tome

Volcano cannon is pretty fucking badass man

Tellius before DS actually.

I liked Volcanon and Tron more than Bolganone and Thoron myself.

[Thor Odinson]

Right I keep on forgetting about Tellius since I only played them once each

Mar-me-dawn (It always sounded right to me sorry)

Why-vern (nothing special)

Can I put in a request for all the characters in FE6? Like Thany, Ogier, Miledy, etc.y

Thany- I pronounce the 'a' like in flan and the 'y' like in cloudy

Ogier- probably wrong, but Oj-ee-er

Miledy- Mill-Ed-e

speaking of advanced elemental spells, why did they have Rexcalibur be the B-rank wind tome in Awakening >_>

[Snickers]

bo-ga-lone

I just call her Shanna now. It is kind of interesting how the localizers got Shanna out of Thany.

Miledy sounds like "Milady" only with an eh sound.

How the hell do you pronounce Oifey and Oujay? Those guys kind of confuse me. The former, i say "oy-fey" which rhymes with Oy Vey! lol The latter, i tend to call him "wee-jay" kind a like Ouija.

Heres one for ya: Janaff. I am often summoning my inner Scandinavian and calling him "Yahn-aff".
