In the V'ornn language, triple consonants have a distinct sound. With the exceptions noted below, the first two letters are always pronounced as a W, thus:
Khagggun - Kow-gun
Tuskugggun - Tus-kew-gun
Mesagggun - Mes-ow-gun
Rekkk - Rawk
Wennn Stogggul - Woon Stow-gul
Kinnnus - Kew-nus
okummmon - ah-kow-mon
okuuut - ah-kowt
K'yonnno - Ka-yo-no
salamuuun - sala-moown
Olnnn - Owl-lin
Sornnn - Sore-win
Hadinnn - Had-ewn
Bronnn Pallln - Brown Pawln
Teyjattt - Tay-jawt
seigggon - sew-gon

Nefff - Newf
Batoxxx - Bat-owx
Boulllas - Bow-las (as in, to tie a bow)
Hellespennn - Helle-spawn
Argggedus - Ar-weeg-us
When a Y directly precedes the triple consonant, it is pronounced EW, as in shrewd, thus:
Rydddlin - Rewd-lin
Rhynnnon - Rew-non
Tynnn - Tewn
but:
K'yonnno - Ka-yow-no
Because the following word is not of the V'ornn language, the triple consonant does not follow the above rules, thus:
Centophennni - Chento-fenny
Triple vowels are pronounced twice, creating another syllable, thus:
Haaar-kyut - Ha-ar-key-ut
leeesta - lay-aysta
mumaaadis - mu-ma-ah-dis
liiina - lee-eena
N'Luuura - Nu-Loo-oora
Normally, in V'ornn, the Y is pronounced EA, as in tear, thus:
Gyrgon - Gear-gon
Sa is pronounced SAY, thus:
Sa Trryn - Say-Trean
Kha is pronounced KO, while Ka is pronounced KA, thus:
Khagggun - Kow-gun
Kannna - Kaw-na
Ch is always hard, thus:
Morcha - More-ka
Bach - Bahk
Skc is always soft, thus:
skcettta - shew-tah
