Jotun pronounciation

[Revdyer]

How do you pronounce his name? Is it "Joe-tun" with an English j, or Yo-tun, with a Germanic or Scandanavian one? or even Spanish "Ho-tun"?

I started as Joe-tun, but have lately switched to Yotun...don't know why, though.

(edit: corrected a to u, as per hextr1p)

Joe-Tun for me.
And for the love of all that is good in the universe can we all call Charos - Car-Os instead of Char-Os.

[hextr1p]

Well, seeing as how his name is spelled, "JotUn" , I pronounce it:

JO-tun

Or are we talking about a different giant who fights for Ullar?

Thanks, hextr1p, for the correction. I seem to always be doing things like that.

Not a problem. I was about to ask if you had some sort of a variant card with a mis-spelling of his name! But seriously, misreading cards has happened to me on more than a few occasions, as I'm sure it has to many here. I hope I didn't come across too pompous in my previous post.

Another who calls him "JO-tuhn"

Not at all. If you had, my response would have had jagged edges to it.

i say JO-tun as well, but occasionally it will be more along the lines of JO-tin (as in the number 10 rather than the other way to say 2000 pounds)

I'm with YO-tun because, IIRC Jotun is a giant(s?) in Norse mythology.

Joe Ton.

Norse giants, my vote is even more decidedly YO-tun.

JoeTon, as ud suggests, reminds me of Mighty Joe Young, the gorilla. Being big, I guess the giant would be about a ton, though.
