My pronunciation of any fictional language has the strict 'letter always sounds the same' rule of my native language, but sometimes the general English pronunciation of a word.

So I got Ka-Ka-meh Aw-med-in-aid

Though I generally recall Cacame's last name as "Awenmir" due to never really memorizing it. I have no idea where it comes from.

[Sensei]

Figured Ca-ca-meh Ahwe-med-in-ah-day/

We could figure out the soft C question by looking in the dictionary, you know- the individual words have to be logically pronounceable, and would not likely change we compounded.

[Naresomez]

Hooray for added uncertainty! 

[sunshaker]

I figure he would convert to pronouncing it as if he was a dwarf.

Cacame isn't compounded, though.  It just means "pelt" or "hide".  (while Aweme means "ape", and Dinade means "bald"... I guess you can say his name means something like "pelt of the hairless ape")

I would guess that forces the Awe-me and den-aid or di-na-de to be seperate, so no "med" syllable.

So Cacame Awemedinade is an elf king AND a fell mood ingredient!?

[ungulateman]

For some reason I say it Ka - Ka - Me  Awe - Med - In - Aid. Meh, doesn't matter too much.

'Pelt of the hairless ape'?

Obviously recognising elves' lack of beards, therefore, they're 'hairless apes' and he's taking their pelts or something.

[NW_Kohaku]

Keep in mind that he was named by elves before he went on his anti-elf crusade.

[Holy Mittens]

It is a metaphor. Elves are the hairless apes. Elves are fair and without beards or other body hair.

And while Cacame is an elf in body, he has the soul of a dwarf. So he is the "pelt" of an elf wrapped around the soul of a dwarf.

[Karnewarrior]

question is, did his parents know that, or is it a coincidence, like how Chuck Norris was named after god?

[Holy Mittens]

His parents just knew. Somehow.

[Lord Dakoth]

Does Cacame worship a deity?

[Haspen]

Does Cacame worship a deity?

He does, a 'force' like every elf.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That force is of course just his pseudonim.

So, now my rationalization of a randomly generated name has become part of the "official" lore of the Chuck-Norrification of Cacame?

I have touched the legend... *glows with inner warmth*

[titan-rex]

It should definately be pronounced Kaa-k-me.........


....and he does worship a god......the ...one true gawd,,,,,,,,,,,


CHUCK NORRIS!
