Whats the correct pronunciation of "Neinzul"?

Whats the correct pronunciation of "Neinzul"?

I have been saying it like nine (9) zool (rhymes with cool), but I have no idea if this is correct. I figure the "u" could be like in "bull" maybe.

Also, if you think you have some weird non-standard pronunciation, or nickname, do share!

I've never actually heard Chris pronounce it, but my guess is Nein as in the german word, and Zul as... as it looks   With the short u sound.  Or, potentially as in "zool", basically like Zul-jin from WC2 or the many many "Zul" prefixes in WoW.

lol I'm with with keith, Neinzul seems really german..

[wyvern83]

I also agree with Keith, I can't think of it being pronounced any other way.

[HellishFiend]

Keith said two different things... Which are you guys agreeing with? 

[MaxAstro]

I've been pronouncing it "nayne-zool" (nein like rein but with an 'n', and then zul as in "Vengeance for Zul-jin" :p )*.  Never even occurred to me that it might be pronounced differently.  xD

*Before you ask, I've never played WoW, but I'm a big fan of that other WarCraft game...

I've also been pronouncing it as quasi-German: nine - zool.

It's how Vinraith wrote it.

Oh, if someone hunts up the recent interview Jordan Rivas did with Chris, there's probably an example in there

I've been saying "Nine- zuhl."

Chris needs to record a tutorial video on how to pronounce all these wacky names; I wonder how he comes up with all this stuff, maybe with beer.

"Arson--I mean Arken"
"Zeeenithe"
"Tiddlywinks"
"Nein-ZoOoOOL"
"AI War"

[Vinraith]

Now that Spikey mentions it, I'd been meaning to ask: is that "c" in Arcen hard or soft? I'd been assuming soft all this time...

[wyvern83]

I've been saying "Nine- zuhl."

That reads the same as 'Nine-zool' to me, zool as pronounced like school, cool, or pool. Zuhl works to in my book, I've never been big on phonetic spelling that dictionaries use.

As in cup or up.

Maybe Chris is a fan of Ghostbusters?That's how I pronounce it.
