I pronounce it almost the same...with the "r" as "French" as it can get out of an American throat lol, not quite "rain" and not quite "renn"...something in between that would probably be best decribed as "American French" I'm sure Moiraine has heard it being spoken by tourists.
Donut's right about there being an English word "moraine". I had long forgotten it from Earth Science, but it is a glacial deposit of earth and stones.[/QUOTE]The word "moraine" also exists in French (same thing), and there is another word "moire" which means "watered fabric". I am a shiny glacier ! [img]smile.gif[/img]
