How do you say Gonarch?

[Tuxflop]

I tend to pronounce it Gone-Ark but I hear Go-Nark just as often.

[sourceeee]

for me its gone-ark. the name seems in general to be some type of portmanteau of gonad and monarch (which explains a lot about its anatomy and large stature)

[El_Verdugo]

for me i say it like the name gonarch since im spanish and the CH at the end had sound

[painka05]

I'm used to say gonartʃ. Though gonarh sounds more correct in our language

[The Filet-O-Fish®]

Gonad, monarch. Gone-ark.

Go-nar-Ssh

Yeah, might just because I'm European. And used to pronounce the "C" as a soft S, instead of the "K" sound it sounds like in English language.

Nice topic by the way.
Other quuestion I had in mind - is Nihilanth a title or a proper noun? Some people say the Nihilanth, like a title, though this is the name IMO.
Offtopic, yes.

go-nark?

[Kasen Ibaraki]

Go-nar-sh and

The CH is pronounced as a 'K'.

Go-Nark

[ShugoTheRipper]

Gonarch = Gon + Arch

No surprise k's anywhere. No odd s sounds. Assuming the lore has the name as a phonetic transcription from an alien language direct to American/Canadian English version.

I just call it ball crab to be honest

Go-Nark

Only if its considered to be English. It could be an Alien language?

Again, do we really know if its based on the English language?
