Pronunciation Question
Am drafting info for my narrator for the Heart books! Okay...I have an Ogham pronunciation guide, but I didn't use it a lot mostly because I found it a little late in my process. Tinne for me is Tin. The reason I'm posting this is Saille (Maidens of Saille House For Orphans, and Saille T'Willow). The guide states it should be Sahl (Saul), and THAT one I said to myself when writing Heart Dance....however before that it was Sail (like Sail a boat), or even, perhaps, Zail. What do you all think?

my head it sounds like SAY-ool, sort of like sail but stressed more on the first syllable, and then secondly a little less UL and more OOL at the end.
I think it should vary according to sex. One pronunciation for males, one for females.
Yes, like for Denis and Denise?
I thought the man's version sounded like Sahl-lee and the woman's version sounded like Sally.
Tinne I thought sounded like Etienne the French equivalent of Stephen - but I don't speak any French....
Huh. To me, it's pronounced the way it would be in French.Sadly, I have no idea how to represent the sound in my head into letters. :-(
I thought it was the French pronunciation... like "sigh"
