I've heard "Tocuna" pronounced many different ways. I. myself pronounce it Tah-cone-uh. But I'm not sure. Who pronounces it another way? Also, if there are any pronounciations I do not know, please suggest one.

According to the audiobooks, it's "Toe-kyuu-nah." Being the bearer of that name, I pronounce it more or less like that on the rare occasions that I speak it aloud. Now, how do I pronounce Flacutono? Which syllable is accented? |

Tocuna = To-kyu-nah
Flo = Flow, as in water
Flacutono = Fla-kyu-to-no
Lucafont = Loo-ca-font
Orlando = Or-land-oh

How many of you pronounced it Toe-kyuu-nah before the audiobook came out? [note- I've only listened to the first half of THH audiobook. So I didn't hear when they pronounced Tocuna's name.] Then again, Tim Curry, who reads the books on the audiobooks has an accent...

Yeah, same for me. I know someone who pronounced it Eez-may, which is understandable, too. |

I always said it Toe-Coo-Na.
I was wrong. Beat me with the giant noodle now, please. The twins do not get enough love. Are they twins? What exactly is bloody wrong with them? Just in need of mental help?
Opinions please, talk amongst yourselves.
