Notes 1 In general, 'r' sounds in Elvish words are 'trilled', so the final 'r' of Hyarrostar should be distinctly pronounced. The pronunciation of this name is complicated slightly by the fact that it already contains a double 'r' earlier in the word, which in fact represents two separate 'r' sounds. The initial Hyarro- of the name means 'southeeast', and is composed of two Elvish elements, hyar 'south' and ro 'east', hence 'hyar-ro' in the pronunciation guide shown here. Again, the final 'r' sound of hyar should be trilled, so the pronunciation of this element could be represented as 'hyarr-ro'. See also...
