Hey, I wasn't wrong for once!Hlaoroo wrote:I think reverberation would be the closest word in English then. I love those difficult to translate terms. Makes you realise how inadequate English is sometimes.
My name, Hlaoroo, is from the book Watership Down by Richard Adams. It's a Lapine word (Lapine being the language of the rabbits in the book) which is the name of one of the rabbits and which means a small depression or a little wooden bowl, or Pipkin. Pipkin was one of my favourite characters so I borrowed the name when I couldn't get the name Hrairoo working on here. And yes, I am the same Hrairoo or Hrairoo5er that used to pop up in the comments section on the website from time to time.
As to how it's pronounced, well you'd have to ask Adams for the proper pronunciation but how I do it is a sort of breath before the L and then a like apple, then ow like cow and then roo like kangaroo. You can hear me say it in my Ice Bucket Challenge video at about 5-6 seconds in.

Good job. Even if it was something you went to because you thought you couldn't pronounce it.deepskycyan wrote:I had deemed the name almost unpronounceable, so I just read it as D.T. Lux.
One of those weird cases where I got something right.
Huh.
