the Truth of Tremulous 1.2

[Survivor]

Henceforth this topic shall be about the pronunciation of Rocinante's name, be located in off topic, and it would seem fitting for people to post soundbytes of them pronouncing his name.

I heard it first as the name of Don Quijote's horse in spanish class. No doubt the band Rush borrowed the name from this Mexican tale for the spaceship in cygnus x-1 ( Book One: The Voyage), where the good classic rocker }MG{Rocinante captured the name as his own.

Therefore, I would use standard spanish pronunciation for the name, which I would guess to be Row - see - nahn - tay.

Rocín in Spanish means work-horse or low-quality horse ("nag"), but also illiterate or rough man

That explains a lot....

I thought it was, "row-sin-on-tay."

This is how I said it, but I guess it should be "ross"

I believe it is Rah-Sin-In-Tey
Not too hard to pronounce, really.

Um... wow, I've been really off, I thought it was "Rok-in-Aunt"  with aunt not said like ant but like Americans do with southern accents.  I always thought it was a pun on astronauts or some kind of "naut" or maybe "Rock in on" or something like that.

Any ways hilarious, didn't even know there was a conspiracy theory with the MG dev team until now!



(ps. at first I didn't acknowledge the last "N" in Rocinante, and I thought it was "Rok-in-Ate")

raw-sin-ahn-tay is how Geddy Lee pronounces it
