Let's Play ADOM - Part 24

Ancient Chaos Wyrms these days aren't what they used to be. (Alive.) Now that Hocus Pocus has the Chaos Orb of Elemental Fire in her grubby blood-crusted claws, it's time to dive deeper into the Caverns of Chaos!

Damn, that's a lot of chaos. It's almost like the world is threatened by the forces of an elder Chaos God or something.

... OK, personally I'd have written worm as Wurm, and a Wyrm would be a Lindwurm. I have never seen "Wierm" before. Luckily, I'm not in the translation business!

[sitlar]

@Silfir I mean the pronunciation, not the translation :-)

[Silfir]

@sitlar That makes loads more sense, thank you!

[FakeFakeDouble]

@sitlar I was referring to the pronunciation in Cribozai's post, wyrm is pronounced as /wyrm/ which would make it roughly würm, using the rules in written german.

[sitlar]

@FakeFakeDouble I know that. I tried to write the pronunciation of the english word "wyrm" with the means of written german.

[FakeFakeDouble]

@sitlar That ipa symbol /y/ is represented in written german by ü, not ie, which would be /i:/

[sitlar]

If you write in German, wyrm (W) will be Wierm and worm (w) will be Worm
