ArchivesLamya and Eirian
Odd pairing of names, I know, but I'm consolidating my two questions into one post. How are Lamya and Eirian pronounced? My best guesses are LAWM-ya and EYE-ree-ann, but I'm not sure if those are right.

I don't know about Eirian, but Lamya is pronounced:
lam-YA-ah'
the lam is short, almost like lem, and then ya is just like "yeah!", and then the ah' is a very short glottal stop.
OR you could pronounced it LAM-ya without the final glottal stop, which makes it sound much more beautiful.
however you choose to do it, just remember that in arabic the stress is always on the second to last syllable.

I can't figure out how to edit, but on further thinking...
the first pronunciation should be "LAM-ya-ah" instead of "lam-YA-ah". the only difference would be whether you choose to say "LAM-ya-ah" or "LAM-ya".
since the stress is on lam, you would pronounce it like lamb.
