How do YOU pronounce "N'wah"?

I personally pronounce it Nwah.

I pronounce It en wah, I just picked it up from how I hear the female Dunmer in Morrowind pronounce it. If it sounds different to others, then I'm open to admit that my hearing isn't the best in the world.

People in Morrowind pronounce it literally "Enn-Wah".

You know, with all of this Morrowind Dunmeri faithfulness going around, I'm deciding to pronounce it en-wah for now.

I seem to remember being called a neen wah before as well, by a male Dunmer in Morrowind.

You have hearing issues.

Yeah, the Dunmer women in Morrowind pronounce is Enn-wah, and I do too. They pronounce "S'wit", Swit also.

The female Dunmer in Morrowind cries "Enwah," as pointed out above. But personally, I say it as ~~silly Chaos trying to be like Avron~~ nu-wah...because it makes me giggle that way, and giggling is much more fun.

Not insulting people by calling them "S'wit" or N'wah?

Oh wait, they don't deserve the title of S'wit, as you already have it.

I remember hearing both Atom

Then again it was a while ago. I always preferred Fetcher as an insult, even with the Thiefly connotations. I mean, N'wah is probably more insulting, but Fetcher has a nice sound to it, particularly with the gravely voice of the Dunmeri males of Vvardenfell.

Die, fetcher!
But my personal favourite:

Stoopid!

My name fits my love of Khajiit, unlike a certain Imperial-lover I know that uses Dunmeri insults

@Duru: I think I remember hearing it pronounced that way by a couple of the exiled male ashlanders that dot the northern and eastern coasts, they say it pretty fast, but it does sound like nenwa

I like the little used Scuttlehead. I saw it in reference to the Archmage Trebonius.

"N'wah" is pronounced "Enn-wah" by the native inhabitants of Morrowind.

"En-wah"

Hey now. I love everybody. Lest we forget, I have been a Nord, a Dunmer, and an Imperial, on top of loving the Bosmer the most - so take that!

I always read it like the n is like the n in "Rock'n'Roll" so it's "something and wah" because of this, lol.

Yes, but Tullius is a lightning rod for Stormcloak hate

N'WAH!

En-Wah
That is how I pronounce it anyway.
