I've been having a nerdy debate with someone about the correct pronunciation of the name "Maedhros". Do you pronounce it Mah-eeh-dhros or Mah-eh-dhros?
+James Coish We can't decide because in the Silmarillion and Children of Húrin, Tolkien's note on pronunciation say that since "ae" doesn't have an equivalent English sound, English speakers can just pronounce it like "ai".
If you want to be super accurate it would be pronounced like mah-eh-dhros but with the ah-eh squished together in a single syllable. As an English speaker, I have a hard time with it and just say Maidhros.
