Hm, is this a dev approved pronounced word?
however, other cultures pronounce it differently, so Aether would be Eyetear in many other countries
its really just a matter of history, culture and approved linguistics... tomato or tomato.
Fair, fair
One of Odin's spells in GoW Ragnarok has the word eitr in it and that's how he pronounces it. The all-father knows best
Thats what I thought, but then my husband thought diff and I was like "well now I wonder"

<3 WHOOT THANK YOU
Old Norse would have pronounced Gjall G-YALL where modern Icelandic?) pronounces it YALL
"r" should be the actual, hard, fully pronounced r, and not like the muffled, "paralyzed tongue" shame that is english r.
Eitr on the other hand comes from the concept of primordial ooze and poison. It's the origin of the jotnar and snakes/dragons. It's a manifestation of primordial matter of Ginnungagap where fire and ice meet. It's the origin of matter from which the world is later made.
It's strongly linked to the concept of fertile soil which to the Norse meant soil filled with rainworms. Worms and snakes were the same thing to them, beings directly born from fertile primal matter. But like all good things, to much will kill you.
Etymologically this has no connection with Aether. The element of Earth is linked to Eitr while it's borderline the opposite of aether.
