Oh. I was pronouncing your name /ˈɹeizəˌdɹɛn/.

Khemehekis is /ˌxɛmɛˈhɛkis/ in Kankonian, but when speaking English I say /ˌxɛməˈhɛkɨs/.

Khemehekis is [ˌkʰɪ.mə.'hɛ.kɪ̈̆s] for me, though sometimes I'll consciously change the first syllable to [xɛ].

I usually pronounce Üdj [ʏdʒ] or [ydʒ] in English, though it's supposed to be [yɟ], I believe.

Pin-pen merger, right?

Yep.

Yep.

I've never pronounced "pin", "thin", "sin", "chin", "skin", "bin", nor even "been" with an [ɛ], but learned a lot of words with [ɛn] instead of [ɪn] early in life. Growing up, it was always "begen", "sence", "contenue", "guenny" pig", "Many" Mouse, and "Wenny" the Pooh. "Vanilla", to this day, rhymes with "umbrella" for me rather than sarsaparilla, even though that's before a /l/, not a /n/, and "milk" ends with "elk", not "ilk". Then again, many "normal" pronunciations render the letter A before /n/ or /l/ as an /ɛ/: any, many, marshmallow, alphabet.

"Any" and "many" both have [ɪ] for me. "Marshmallow" is still [ɛ], though. And I have [æ] in "alphabet."

Reyzadren wrote: ↑18 Oct 2023 12:12 Anyone remember a social media site from the 2000s that is not myspace but has pretty much the same capabilities (fully customisable pages, backgrounds, colours etc)?

Lots of metal bands used that site, and even 1 band actually replied to me on the comment page back then (I recently just remembered about them, and they are still active!). However, I can't find anything about any older social media sites at all through search engines. Maybe some metalheads here know what site I'm talking about

Reyzadren wrote: ↑23 Oct 2023 00:02 ^Nah, I don't think it's Bolt. It's a general social media site, but the preferred usage is more from metal bands (or what it seems to me anyway).

Oh well, I guess it's obscure knowledge lost to the void now and nobody here knows about it.
