Simple question, right? How is Xerigium supposed to be pronounced?
Don't forget to indicate what syllable is stressed.
Let's see what pronunciation wins the popular vote, or feel free to give your silliest rendition.
I'm sure we can get to the bottom of this and still have fun with it.

No stressed syllable, just start off with a german rendition of "very" and follow up rhyming with "idiom".

Its really weird to hear of a colony that isn't run like Auschwitz and selling human leather for a living.

Dang it Tynan, why'd you have to go and make up a word that we, and you, can't even say? Not everything about Rimworld needs to be about suffering - wait, oh, yes it does.

Well, I think it's zayr-i'-jee-um. Rhymes with the word vestigium.

But in my mind (who actually has a need to say this out loud?) I go lazy and it's zayr'-a-gum.

Kayr-for-sum-gum? It has long-lasting flavor and medicinal properties!
