I've got a beef with one of the BA characters

[Grabula]

It's kor-byou-loh, not kor-boo-lo or car-buh-lo lol. Probably named after the Roman General Domitius Corbulo.

Does ... anybody pronounce it differently?

[Gotthammer]

How I've always said it *shrug*

[Grabula]

so far in 3 online battle reports today I've heard it pronounced 3 different ways! I always thought it was one of the more obvious but apparently not. He's no Njal anyway :D

[addamsfamily36]

I pronounce it

Core - Bew - lo

[eagleboy7259]

If he's a roman doesn't that mean he should be an ultramarine?

[Lerra]

Not knowing about the Roman general, I've always pronounced it Kor-BOO-loh. It looked vaguely spanish to me, so I went with a hispanic pronunciation.

I'll probably keep pronouncing it the same way because people would be confused if I changed. ;)

I used to study latin. we were told as its a dead language we have no way of telling how the Romans spoke so any pronunciation of a latin phrase is acceptable.

I am sensing a correlation between idiocy and online battle reports. NOW I GET IT.:confused:

True but it has been studied as a language since the end of the Roman Empire effectively as it is(or was depending on your faith) the language of the church, so we're probably not that far off.

I am a latin major! And this is sort of true. There are some dipthongs and combinations which we don't know. But we do know some things, such as the Church's pronunciation of Dulce as Dull - Ch - eh is wrong . . . Romans didn't have CH, the c made a K-sound. We also know that Vs were pronounced like Ws. (The opposite of German lol.)
