ArchivesRe: Pronunciation and Origin of Terkel
in reply to a message by Nuria SS
Hi Nuria SS,
Terkel is a Danish variant form of Torkel.
Danish pronunciation:
TER-kel (stress on the first syllable)
TER rhymes with bear - the Danish R is a "throat-R" like in German and French
kel rhymes with bill/bell - the vowel is very short and the k-sound reminds of a hard g-sound.
Regards, Satu
