You are missing some:

This chart makes things much clearer. Arigato

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yes but do you pronounce it oregano or oregano.

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Unpopular opinion but both are wrong. It's oregano

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Pronounce the "g" like in "gif"

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

And the "o" as in "people"

[–] Threeme2189@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Orejano? Is that in Spanish or something?

”Ore-GAH-no. What the hell?” - M. Simpson

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is the correct answer.

The mods dont want us to know it!

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, is it gone now? Looks like OP deleted it for some reason, not the mods. If you're curious, they said "Oh-REG-a-no".

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

No idea how it got deleted. Sync let me restore it. Odd.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

depends your native language and regional accent

[–] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Technically the dragon from Eragon was named Saphira but I shall let it slide this time

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately we don't know what Eragon himself looks like because no movie was ever made. Worst bit is that they even had some pretty great actors in the movie that was never made.

[–] Todd_cross@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

Shoulda replaced it with Aragon in Spain

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Where's my second name on that list?

You're foolin' yourself, we're living in a Potatoship

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hmm, I thought top left was Orgasmo, top middle was Ermagherd, and bottom left was Gas Station Shelob

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

Top middle is Saphira afaik, the dragon from the dude called Eragon

[–] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Clearly they all stem from the same triconsonantal root. Though I couldn't find one for رجن (assuming the Egyptian pronunciation).

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The ending to Eragon was more disappointing than the movie.

[–] lady_maria@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I remember really enjoying the first two Eragon books as a kid, though I barely remember any characters, or anything that happened, really. I do remember being very disappointed in the movie though.

But it sounds like the books wouldn't be worth revisiting? 😕

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

First two books are great. I don’t think it’s worth revisiting the ending for the last book was lame.

::: massive spoilers

Tap for spoilerEragon defeats the main evil wizard guy and now has some dragon eggs. He tells Arya the elvish princess that’s been saving his ass for the last 3 books that he’s leaving forever to live in solitude with the eggs. He rides off into the sunset never to be seen again.

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

That's just how Pasolini writes books and I myself am perfectly fine with that, but I get that the end is not popular with some.

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler Galbatorix death created an unfillable power vacuum mortal non-mage Nasuada can only substitute to some degree. Eragon cannot really fight for the next 40 years or so for Nasuada - he has a duty to Saphira and all dragonkind.

[–] anivia@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Yeah, but that was already foreshadowed on the first book when he received the prophecy from Angela. Him getting together with Arya would have made no sense in the first place.

[–] Fapp@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 month ago

What do you mean the teenager getting with the person that is over 100 doesn't make sense? Surely they are at the same maturity level and wisdom level, and surely that hasn't been an ongoing issue throughout the previous 3 books.

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Him not getting with Arya was fine but reading it 12 years ago it felt like he pulled a Luke Skywalker.

“Thanks for the help, good luck cleaning up this mess”

You're supposed to add the text inside the (>!!<) Example

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Might you happen to be using one of the apps which hasn't implemented Lemmy markdown for spoilers yet?

[–] Lepsea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I use sync and it marks the spoiler for the "massive spoiler" and anything after that is not marked. I can also have app issues because it has quite low ratting there

Edit: Just downloaded voyager, it's a client issues

Hugo knitting?
