> Oh, and one last thing; Someone who has seen the movie, please answer one simple question for me. I can deal with them pronouncing Sauron as SORE-on instead of the technically-correct SOUR-on, but *please* tell me that Celeborn is pronounced correctly (KELL-a-born) rather than incorrectly (SELL-a-born). The same rule applies to Cirdan, Cirith Ungol, and a variety of other Sindarin names beginning with C.
Scotsman says:
"It looks like Peter took great pains to follow the notes that Tolkien provided in the appendices. For example, Pippin's last name is Took as in rhymes with "Luke", and the palantir is stressed pa-LANT-ir. As far as the Dark Lord is concerned, he is called SOUR-on. I don't remember offhand Celeborn's name being mentioned, but if they follow the pains that they took with everything else, it would be KELL-a-born. Mordor was a bit strange in that it seemed like they slightly trilled the first "r" in it, giving it sort of a Romanian flair to the name. Caradhras is pronounced KARA-thras, which was strange since I had always pronounced it ka-RATH-ras (yes, I do read the appendices and do not pronounce it Ka-RAD-ras)."
