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 is "NAW - vis", like gnawing and aravice.

Vulcanus is "Vul - CAN - us", like Vulcan or Vulcanize

Gleba is more fun like "Glee - ba", but usually ends up being "glebbah".

Fulgora is "Full - GORE - ah" but I originally misread the name and said "Full - GROW - ah".

Aquilo is usually "A - QUILL - oh" but I accept arguments to pronounce it like Aquilae.

The DLC is two words: "Space - Age". Spaceage is whatever is dumped off a platform.
