Mitharg is Mi-tharg (th as in 'the')
Ogrim is O-grim. (O is not Oh, rather as the o in 'radio')

Dunno. Midnight names tend to sound tolkienian and Tolkien names tend not to use diphtongs, and to sound generally hebrew-like... or more on the latin side of the tree.

Xajorkith = gza - jore - kith
Ogrim = Ohh - grimm
Luxor = Luxe - Ohr
Thimrath = Thimm - rath ("a" as in apple)
Mitharg = Myth - arg ("a" as in arsenal)
Fernando = nutter ;D
etc...

Generally I think the names were made to be seen first, read second, and never spoken. They look good, and can be read, and yes, reminds a bit of Tolkien and related stuff, but I don't think Eru ever seriously considered the pronounciation of the things Trorn ? Grarg? Gorgrath? I can barely pronounce them, and I'm Danish, we are supposed to pronounce everything. But English speaking folks can't even pronounce their own language, much less names in (to English speaking people) foreign languages. So how are we supposed to guess what collection of sounds lies behind Eru's letters in the names? (Of course, English spoken by Usanians happens to be even worse than Brittons, but that's another matter) |

Maybe even intended that way too  I feel about English as the main international language a bit like I feel about MS Windows, in all it's forms, as the main OS for PC's. you can put a lot of good and rational objections up against it, but in the end it sort of works, even with all the grief. In a similar way I have the same feelings for the management and business methods of M$ and the main Anglo countries and their management and business methods. Just my opinion, not an issue for discussion. |

Our name for Trieste, for example, is Trst. Try to pronounce that. ;D |

Means heiress to the throne. And I know that there is few words in croatian/slovenian with 5> consonant groups, just cannot remember none at the moment.  |
