Closest to "day-gone," but with a harder A sound and a less pronounced diphtong, like in "dang." Pretty sure that's how DotA's voice actors pronounce it as well.

I always thought it was day-gone, but Alexa pronounced it like dah-goen. Alexa is also stupid, and sounds things out phonetically rather than understanding actual words. We're not actually 100% how the ancient Sumerians actually pronounced it (Sumerian's a reconstructed language, and we kind of guess at what it sounded like spoken versus reading it written down), but most people today pronounce it "Day-gone" in English. There's also a case to pronounce it something like "Day-gun". --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard!

Did Dr. Seuss make that cover art?No, it's from a series of books of Lovecraft stories written in anapestic tetrameter (which Seuss used heavily) and with Seuss-style illustrations.    --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Speaking of pronunciation, how are you supposed to pronounce R'lyeh? You're not. But if you have to, most people go with something approximating "Rehl-yeh". Though Lovecraft mentioned once it sounds more like "roo-leh-yah", but slurred together so it sounds like two syllables and not one. Keep in mind it's supposed to be a word that literally cannot be spoken by humans in any human language, so no matter how you pronounce it it's going to be at least somewhat wrong. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
