This is indeed correct. "Rokh - roak / roke (as in toke, spoke)"
was a mythological bird, In the story of Sinbad..... think the Greeks borrowed it too. Not pronounced rock. Also spelled Roc, and Rogh, and ruhk.
NERD FIGHT!!!!!

One must also be aware of different "correct" pronunciations for different languages. _________________________

There's no "r" in Bhaalgorn.
Pretty sure there's an "r" after the "o" and before the "n"

"roak" sounds terrible though, rock has nicer connotations
You're saying rock sounds cooler than a giant mythical eagle (as large as clouds in some stories) that could kill and carry prey as large as elephants. And was also used to fly people around?..... Guess that's a matter of opinion. _________________________

It does when you say it like this
LOL Touche I hate the first song, but love the AC/DC Makes me think that the Rohk...I'm pronouncing it roak (suck it other people!!) would be some interstellar space rocking party bus. Where in it would dock with stations and strobe lights would appear with smoking coming from the inside. The doors would open and a bunch of strippers would then fallout. Followed by bleary eyed rockers with space booze in their hands. Who ever did the hello kitty Kestrel needs to make the "party Rohk". _________________________

Uh-huh... I'll get right on those (incorrect) pronunications. :)
Usually talking the same way others do is quite the useful skill in life. Also pronouncing words the same way lets people know they're talking about the same thing.
E.G. So the whole Rohk...as rock or rohk thing. You know the "rock is the best sniper." "What's a rock?" However the "Toe ma to" vs "toe mat to" thing means you're just being an *******. _________________________
