in reply to a message by Dragon_Clarinet
You can listen to Aune here:

If you type Inkeri here: http://www.mikropuhe.com/demo.asp then click "Kuuntele puhe" you can hear the pronunciation.
If you can't hear those, Aune is pronounced like AH-oo-neh, but said quickly (AH-oo, is like ou when one says ouch, but with a slightly more stress on the AH). Inkeri is IN-keh-ree (R is rolled). The first I sound is hard to describe because it is a bit longer than IN, but not as long as EEN. In Finnish, the stress is always on the first syllable.
