Rhea - Rear

Oneiros - the closest I can type it as, is it sounds similar to "buena" but without the B.

Where did you get these from? Because they are, quite frankly, wrong. Unless we are talking about a pronunciation of "rear" like "rea".

Af for oneiros, IIRC greek had a hard S, so no idea where you got your "uena" from.

Hint: these names are supposed to be spoken in latin/greek.


And add this to the fact that english has by and large lost all its original (18th was the last time this was fix'd, I recall) laws of pronunciation, at least, de facto.

Think they came out of the dictionary which tells you the correct pronunciation of words. You should read it sometime. Unless you are American in which case your dictionary is full of the most awful errors in spelling and pronunciation. American dictionaries, dumbed down spelling for dummies.

British English dictionaries, full of 1/2 learned words learned by their 1/2 educated people that only 1/2 conquered a world because they were so sure of their superiority that they couldn't be 1/2 assed to learn how to pronounce anything correctly in the countries they were in. Thus leaving a bunch of 1/2 assed pronunciation failures in their language that they now assume is the only 'proper' way to pronounce anything.

edit: That is not a slam on the British peoples of today, tbh it's a slam on the ones that formed the short lived British Empire, subjugated and in effect enslaved many countries, and because they couldn't be assed to learn the words properly for things in those countries from the ones who lived there, bastardized the words to suit themselves and created a massive failure within both the American and the British dictionaries. For EITHER side of the pond to assume our way is the only 'proper' way is the utmost in arrogance.
