Okay, so I returned to a previous save to hear what it was that Paarthurnax said and I found a few different things. whenever Paarthurnax or Alduin say "Joorre" they pronounce it as "Joor" though for other plurals they change the pronunciation. Alduin also says "Sillesejoor" with a /j/, though he does not pronounce the e between the s and j so that makes some sense. The same happens when Paarth says "Hofkahsejun" meaning dragonsreach. He also says "Bronjun" meaning jarl with a /j/ sound, so how is that rule not canon? I do seem to have been mistaken though, it seems that the only times when the /j/ sound are used is when following a consonant or the silent vowels in compound words. Ammendment 1: I was on the memrise canon course and I finally reached the compound words section. The given pronunciation of bronjun was with a /dʒ/ sound, even though Paarth says it with a /j/. Here is Paarth saying it with a /j/ https://youtu.be/-1Oe7ofllL0?t=12m29s And here is Paarth saying hofkasejun with a /j/ https://youtu.be/-1Oe7ofllL0?t=11m18s |
