Demesne Name Pronounciation Guide (1?)

So, I figured I'd drop this here. Lori and everyone else pronounces Rian's name 'REE-Anne'. REE as in 'scREAm', and 'Anne' with an emphasis on the A, and not the NN's, with the E being purely silent and stylistic and an artifact of ye olde fonts.
His name is NOT pronounce 'Rai-Yan', nor is it pronounced like 'Ian' with an R at the start. Both are wrong, and very silly. 'Ryan' is only correct in the non-canon, humorous crack April Fools chapters.
Umu's name is pronounce 'Uuu-Muuu', not 'Uuu-Wuuu'.
Mikon's name is pronounce 'Me-con'. Me as in the first person singular pronoun, the name I call myself, or possibly the musical note. Con as in Construction, Decepticon, and Contact but NOT Congress.
As a shortcut, "Lori", "Rian" and "Lorian" as in "Mandalorian", as one of my other readers pointed out.

It's con.

2023-02-25 04:56:30 +0000 UTCIs the kon in Mikon kaan or kuhn? Because Congress, Decepticon, and Contact are all pronounced as kaan in American English and Construction is pronounced kuhn, which makes the examples confusing. Even in British English it's still weird because Construction and Congress are pronounced the same.
