How the heck do you say Xerigium?

[userfredle]

Zeer - E - Gum

I pretend the second I is silent

[SpaceDrunk]

Couple of possible ways that occur to me:

/zə'rɪdʒi:əm/

or by association with Belgium: /'zɛrɪdʒəm/

I think I prefer the second one.

I suppose that depends on whose rules you use. In English it's generally the next to last syllable that's stressed which would make it

Xerigium
zer IG ium 
zer as in zero
ig  as in religion
ium sounded as yum

And as we all know English will be the linga franca of outer space because the English speaking peoples a) know the least about their own language and b) generally refuse to learn anyone else's.   

Of course I'm joking! We all know that Shakespeare's play were better in the original Klingon.

Just like it is spelled, but with a silent X,R,M,G,E,and I.  Be sure to pronounce the invisible S, T, and PH. so...
Stuff.

[Shinzy]

Anything with X in the start has to be pronounced as you would pronounce Xena the Lucy Lawless or you're wrong
and 'as you would' doesn't mean you're free to take any liberties on how you'd say it!

Kse Ridge I uhm
'I' be pronounced like how knights of Ni would pronounce it (NI! with silent N!)


Also Gif if Gif! you heretics!

Kserigium (stress on first "i") german language has some advantages too

The same in Dutch. Kse-ri-gium.
emphasis on ri.

Great, thanks to that I'm seeing the colonists jamming marijuana into their cuts and wounds...
