Disclaimer: I am not an expert on IPA or other phonetic notation. This is simply my best attempt at transcribing how I personally pronounce the names and terms that I have constructed.
The 'Quick Guide' transcriptions are simplified but less accurate than the IPA-style transcriptions. They may also be specific to my dialect and less useful to those who speak a different dialect.
I fully support my readers' right to pronounce these words however feels best to them. This guide is not meant to establish a 'correct' pronunciation, but to sate the curiosity of those who would seek it out.
