Sometimes there are things the pronunciation of which I find myself having to guess, and I'd like to avoid falsely thinking a place is called one thing rather than another. The first I can think of would be Irem: is it ear-em or eye-rem?

Assuming that Irem represents one of the common variant spellings of the real-world legend of Iram of the Pillars, well, Google indeed suggests a soft I and a delightful roll of the R.

Something which has bugged me for a while: Are the Masters pronounced "Mister Names" or "Master Names"?

Cochimetl went North, and beyond. No poems, only candlelight now. (Well, maybe one poem.)
