A Quick Pronunciation Sidenote

It occurs to me that the names of the Tricous may have many possible pronunciations because, well, they are completely made-up names. So here is my pronunciation guide based on Ashkay word sounds.

Tricou- This is a francophone name so the pronunciation is naturally Tree-COO. A long time ago, I was watching a video on YouTube where someone was giving a tutorial on how to resurrect the Tricous and they pronounced the name as "Trick-A-You". I cringed. 

Kvornan- Kv in Ashkay is pronounced as F. Also, if an R appears before a consonant, then the R is rolled. Foor-NAAN. Unless you're Elise, in which case the name is pronounced "Cover-Nin". Kvornan secretly thinks it's cute. 

Jennail- J is pronounced as Y. Ai is pronounced as I. Yeh-Nile 

Fricorith- Just like it looks. Free-Core-Ith

Jennicor- Yen-Ick-Or 

Then there's Jon and Kieran who don't actually have Ashkay names. :p

EDIT: Whoops, I forgot one!

Nylissit- Nil-Iss-It. Rhymes with "illicit". 

Double EDIT: I can't believe I forgot Gvaudoin.

Gvaudoin: The "g" is silent. V'uh-duh-WAHN. If only I could think of a better way to make that one readable...

Ashkay Basic Irregular Verbs- Present Tense

Here it is, by popular request!

Eshil- To Be

I am: sir
you are: ihora
he/she/it is: ir
we are: eshir
they are: shir

Marev- To Have

I have: mai
you have: mair
he/she/ it has: mari
we have: marel
they have: marai

I go: vill
you go: varil
he/she/it goes: villi

Domurnia- To Do/To Make

Vellim and Eshilim- To Come (here)/ To Be (here)

Vellimen and Eshilmen- To Go (there)/To Be (there)

These are conjugated the same way that "velli" and "eshil" are. The suffix "-im" means "here" and the suffix "-men" means "there" (as you probably could have guessed). There are many such compound words in Ashkay.


Pronouns are only used as direct objects. So if I wanted to say to you, "I am Penelope" I would say simply, "Sir Penelope." There is no word for "I". However, there is a word for "me"- Hesh.
