Sometimes with weapon names, I literally have no idea.

How in the world do you pronounce Acheron?
Is it "DrAHkon" or is it "DrAEkon"?
Where in the world is the accent on Winmillion?

I'm pretty sure there are more weird names out there than I can't think of off the top of my head.

Send a support ticket that you need help on pronunciation. People pronounce words differently. I pronounce Isora like e-sore-a

This is how I pronounce them:

Ach eR Ron
drAh Ken
wIn miL Yon

The ones I'm stumped on are...
Grintovec (I feel like there is a D in there)
Jalovec (Haylo or Jaylo)
Khorovod (K pronounced or silent?)
Sudaruska (Second s silent?)

Also, Poh Tay Toe, Toh May Toe, Aphro Dye Tee, and Yer Ih diS ee.

Many of the "unusual" names in this game are allusions to real places on Earth or other works of fiction. And we have noted many of these on the wiki. So try looking them up.

For example, if you want to know how to pronounce "Acheron", go to the Acheron wiki page. Follow the link to the Acheron Wikipedia page. They tell you how to pronounce it.

I've been pronouncing them:

Ash-err-on

Dray-Con

Win'million; think "Windmillion" without the 'd'.

It's a good thing you'll never have to actually pronounce these things, seeing as to how sparse the SK population is.

Lol thanks guys, I was just wondering because like, if I'm gonna be making more videos about these, I might as well say the names right. Here's one I just got done http://youtu.be/cAmZsxRBjkw

You know, it would be an honor if I were hired to make videos for everything on the Wiki. I would do that.

Acheron is not unique to the game and is pronounced similarly to ak-u-rune. You can blame the Greek for this.
