		And I allways thoughy it's Daffy-d (as in Daffy Duck)

		Er... no.

		But WHY is it pronounced like that? (I know of a Dafydd whose name is pronounced 'davith'; I do not understand that, either.)



Jim Site Owner Posts: 386		22nd May 2008, 14:09
		'Davith' would be the Welsh pronunciation. In Welsh, the double 'd' is roughly equivalent to the English 'th' sound. Our Daffyd is not Welsh. His name is Dutch, therefore it is pronounced in the Dutch manner. We seem to have this question fairly often - perhaps we should put it on the about page.

		Being Dutch, I should add to that last statement that we don't actually add an 'r' in front of a double 'f' here. The 'hard F' in 'Dar-Fid' fits though.



Jim Site Owner Posts: 386		22nd May 2008, 22:37
		Yes, I only put the 'r' in to emphasise the sound. I suppose perhaps 'Daa-Fid' (to rhyme with the word for the sound which sheep make) would be better?

		Aww, now I can't make my joke about Daffyd being Daft anymore. Really it was a Very Bad Joke in the first place though, so it's not at all a loss. Dutch, though... Hmm. The Welsh Dafydd guessed German when I asked him. ;)

		... for a Dutchman, I think 'David' would actually be the correct spelling, if you say 'Daa-Fid' out loud in English. But if you pronounce 'David' in English, you get 'Day-vid'. Aaaah I'm confused 0_o

		You know...He asks a good question. He's a shadow...why can't he phase threw them.

		I would venture to guess that the bars are made of silver, or something, that's designed to impede Drow shadow magic. Hooray for unintended benefits!

		Was it now... what? Almost a year?



Jim Site Owner Posts: 386		23rd January 2009, 06:54
		Spoke to KF yesterday via Skype... he promised to reply to you 'later'. The gist I get is that when his computer is eventually fixed he has plans for Team Nexus.



B.T. Isaac Artist Posts: 346		23rd January 2009, 17:24
		Fixed? Wasn't it replaced. Is the new computer having troubles too?



Jim Site Owner Posts: 386		24th January 2009, 01:13
		I think 'new' is relative.
