This always confused me. Because I learned how to pronounce the Toa Mata’s names from that video. (never saw the mask of light until it’s 10th anniversary, could never find it in stores and didn’t feel worth to buy it online.) I’ve been trying to change how I say it, but it’s hard to shake calling him “Loo-wa” as it rolls off my tongue so easily.
I don’t let anyone I know say it like that. Jaller’s name must be spoken with respect and pronounced the right way. Forever it be pronounced, Ja-la, and never Jal-er.
I suppose it depends on what accent you have. I literally cannot pronounce it Loo-wa, because it’s just sounds weird saying it (i have a surrey accent), yet Lee-Wa is so much easier to say? But I guess if you have some form of american accent, then Loo-wa would be much better.
Oh, I also just remembered I thought “Rahkshi” was spelled “Rankshi” and pronounced it accordingly. Also “Borhok” instead of “Bohrok”
And the Turaga’s/Toa Metru’s names I pronounced wrong because I put emphasis on the first syllable instead of the second for the Vakama, Nokama, and Whenua (VA-ka-ma instead of va-KA-ma)
