Just wondering about some pronunciations, mainly:
Commoragh
Ynnitach
Phonetic spelling would be appreciated.
Thanks!

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.

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.
