Orcrist

[dr_em2001]

how is Orcrist pronounced? Is it Orc christ or is is orc wrist?

[Fëalossë]

I always said it "orc-wrist" in my head, but I don't know if that's the way Tolkien meant it... :huh: It is an awkward word, in any case.

[Gwaihir]

Orcrist is pronounced with the short "i", as in wrist. It means Goblin-cleaver in the ancient tongue of Gondolin.

[Gil Galad]

i think the wrist one is how i went with it, but i think i always drop the "t" at the end for easier pronounciaition
