[name]How[/name] do you personally pronounce [name]Elowen[/name]?

What is the proper (Cornish) way to pronounce it?

2

I pronounce it like [name]Ell[/name]-oh-wen, but I couldn’t tell you the proper Cornish pronunciation.

3

Pronounced exactly like it’s spelled - el-oh-wen.

4

I pn it [name]El[/name], like the letter L, Oh, like the letter O, and en/in like in. In simple terms: L-O-IN

I think the W is kind of silent when you say the name really fast or naturally, but if I said it slowly, the W does come through but it’s really soft, so kind of like When, L-O-When.

I’m curious because I’ve heard people say the correct pronunciation is something more along the lines of uh-lo-in, which might eliminate the possibility of [name]Ellie[/name] as a nn…

7

I say [name_f]Ell[/name_f]-uh-wen.

8

[name_f]Imagine[/name_f] it like saying ‘el-[name_u]Owen[/name_u]’, but run together; that’s how I remember that the stress isn’t on the ‘el’.

9

I say it [name_f]El[/name_f]-oh-wen

10

I instinctively put the emphasis on the first syllable but I’m told that’s incorrect. It;s SUPPOSED to be [name_f]El[/name_f]-OHwen
