XI. Pronunciation Guide to Names on Pern

Most two-syllable names arc emphasized on the first syllable (D esdra, Talmor). Three-syllable names can be emphasized on either the first or second. Four-syllable names are almost invariably stressed soft on the first syllable and hard on the third (Rato shigan). Dragonriders' honorifics are slurred, pronouncing the initial letter as though it were followed by a schwa (‘ə’)” , as in Sh'gall or N'ton, or ignored completely, as in F'lar. The purpose of shortening the name in this fashion is to make it easier to pronounce in haste.
