A few folks have requested that I give phonectic spellings for a few of the names in Beacon. I must admit that I've heard a variety of pronunciation of the names as more and more people I know read the book. There has been enough requests for this now from both folks that I know and folks that I don't know that I feel compelled to provided a crude pronunciation guide.
I didn't use any phonectic symbols in this guide except for a few vowel markings. Instead I tried to use letter combinations to illustrate vowel sounds. Bold syllables are the primary emphasis syllable.
