Pronunciation of Drow

[redkobold]

How do you pronounce Drow?

 

[Dakkareth]

I always pronounced like 'cow' with a 'dr' in front.

 

[Aeolius]

"Throat Warbler Mangrove"

 

[Mark Chance]

I always pronounced like 'cow' with a 'dr' in front.

Druh-cow?

I tend to pronounce "drow" as "klee-shay".

Also, the poll choices aren't quite clear. "Cow" and "bow" rhyme with each other. For example:

After the recital, the piano-playing cow,
to our udder surprise, took a deep bow.

If you want to know how the official way to pronounce it is, then the 'WotC-sanctioned, seal o' approval' way is like cow.

I wonder how many times this has been brought up on these boards now?

Not enough!

Drow-cow. Moo, baby! Mooooooooo!

 

[Tabarnak Smokeblower]

I know its "cow" but I insist on pronouncing it as in "slow", simply because it sounds better.

I *know* that it's pronounced (officially) as cow, but I grew up pronouncing it "row" since I've always felt it sounded more EEEEEVIL that way.

So, I still catch myself saying DROE not, DROW.
