No "z?"

So, you say it like "Lass" cannon?
As in a cannon that shoots lasses?
That would explain why S.O.B's don't use 'em.

"Allright, repentia. We're out of ammo. Who wants to redeem her eternal soul by being shot from the barrel of this lasscannon?"

I'm with option 1... My group & I say "Laz"cannon (the "a" sounding the same as the 1st "a" in "Dakka").

I'm the same on all but the last.

I used to say Slah-nish, until I read one of the novels (either an Eisenhorn or Cain novel, I don't recall), where it spelled out how all of the custists they'd encountered were calling out to a god "Slay-nish." It spelled it the same as they were pronouncing it.

Slann-esh (Long "a" sound, like if you held the "a" in ban)
Zeench ("ch" like "Cheers")

True, but that's the 'a' followed by a 'w', similar to 'tawdry' or 'dawdle'.



I think the real problem is that 'dak' is actually a word, and that word is pronounced 'dawk' or 'dahk'.



But I agree whole-heartedly with Russ: It's 'DACKA DACKA' because its supposed to be machine gun fire and that sounds a whole lot closer to the stereotypical machine gun fire sound than 'docka docka'.

Yeah, I'm not really sure you can go to phonics for the "Docka" sound. Any a word that sounds like O almost always has either a silent e or two vowels togeather. I say Dakka is closer to hack, back, lack, mack, sack, pack, rack, bat, cat, mat, sat, or hat.

Not me. It has been "dahka dahka" for the last decade. I am not changing the way I say it, just because of a consensus.

Besides, it doesn't sound nearly as ludicrous as a lot of pronunciations I have heard in the past.

Depends on the word. if it a reasonable mispronunciation based on a modicum of logical phonetics, then it doesnt grate me.

But when people pronounce "Wyches" as "Why-ches" and not simply "Witches" (really now, its just GW thinking they are clever by adding the letter "Y" to the word, there is no need to change how it is pronounced because of that "cleverness") it makes me want to go on a homicidal rampage.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209598/267053.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209598/267053.page GMT D6 Generation website:
