Just for fun! I know there exist “the correct” pronunciations, but how do you pronounce the words in your inner monologue? :)

Nauvis:

  1. “Now-vis”
  2. Closer to “Novice”

Vulcanus:

  1. “Vulk Anus”
  2. Like “Tetanus”

Gleba:

  1. “Gleeba”
  2. “Glebbah”
  3. “Glay Bar”

Fulgora:

  1. “Ful-gore-ah”
  2. “Ful-guu-rah”
  3. “Fulger-ah”

Aquilo:

  1. “Ack-eelo”
  2. “A qui loh”
  3. “Ack-willow”

And lastly:

  1. “Space Age”
  2. “Spaceage” like “Mileage”

    Nauvis: Definitely 2

    Vulcanus: Definitely 2, never even crossed my mind on 1. It’s like Venus but it’s a Vulcan.

    Gleba: 2

    Fulgora: 1

    Aquilo: Well I’ve been pronouncing it as a-QUILL-ee-oh this whole time, probably due to the motorcycle brand “Aprilia,” which looks similar to “Aquilo”. I guess I can just drop the 3rd syllable. That makes it option 3 I believe.

    Space Age: Of course 1. 2 is just wrong.

    TL;DR: 222131
