Default Re: How do you pronounce the races?

Does nobody else pronounce the "Jr" as a single sound in Jraenar? Almost like the "dr" in drum (or perhaps dram to keep with a similar "a" vowel for the entire syllable), but with a "j" subtly modifying it.

Something like: "DRAY-nar"

It doesn't seem to me that pronounciations like "juh-RAY-nar" make much sense, as they are adding an extra vowel sound not present in the word, when you can pronounce the "jr" fairly easily. YMMV
