Just wondering about some pronunciations, mainly:
Commoragh
Ynnitach

Phonetic spelling would be appreciated.

Thanks!

At my desk

I personally pronounce them:

Commoragh - com-mor-akh
Ynnitach - 'Inny-tak

I may be wrong, I may be right, different people tend to pronounce them differently.

3000pts Blood Angels (4th Company) - 2000pts Skitarii (Voss Prime) - 2500pts Imperial Knights (Unnamed House) - 1000pts Imperial Guard (Household Retainers)

2000pts Free Peoples (Edlynd Fusiliers) - 2000pts Kharadron Overlords (Barak Zilfin) - 500pts Ironweld Arsenal (Edlynd Ironwork Federation) - 1000pts Duardin (Grongrok Powderheads)

Commorragh is pronounced like a certain destroyed biblical city but with a hard "C". It is a reference of course to Gomorrah, the clue being there is a twin city called "Shaa-dom"

Sodom & Gamorrah=Shaa-dom and Commorragh.

So "Kom-morr-ah".

@OP for Eldar look towards Gaelic and Irish words for a guide on pronunciation, as it appears much of the Eldar nomenclature is based in that.
