Once again the Mhach are on my mind. How should it be pronounced. So I turn to the one possible language root for this: Gaelic. and not since days playing Changeling the Dreaming have I had to deal with the odd way things are pronounced in Gaelic. some links below:

So if we can get some clarification or hell even a japanese pronounciation of the word. I'm think that Mhach/Mhachi, is actually pronounced as Vak/Vakee.

Mhach, Sounds like Mach as in Mach 3.
Mhach, Sounds like Hockey as in the sport. -

If it is Gaelic-inspired (which I feel is VERY likely, considering the fact that we have Cait Sith, Cú Chulainn, and Scathach introduced with Void Ark, and those are all Celtic mythological figures), "Mhach" would actually be pronounced [vah] or [vach] with the [ch] pronounced as it would be in German. (Phonetic transcriptions: /va/ or /vax/ ) "Mhachi" would probably be the same only with [ee] at the end of it and a [h] before that (/va.hi/ or vax.hi/).
One of the first thoughts I had about the real-life inspiration for Mhach, upon catching all the other Celtic references, was that it was inspired by the city of Emain Macha. -
