Au Ra physiology and other lore.

[PotatoSalad]

I dunno about anyone else, but I don't see it pronounced the same as the "ou" in "ouch," despite what Ferne said earlier. Now, before anyone accuses me of ignoring the devs on this, not that he also said Auri rhymes with Maori. And http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...M%C4%81ori.ogg sounds like what I expected from Auri, but does not at all sound to me like an "ow" sound. That is, the "a" and "u" of the word keeping their distinct sounds rather than combining.

Maybe my brain just isn't separating the "ow" sound into its component parts correctly, but either way, I'm not getting it. >_>

Au and Ow and Ou are making the exact same sound, Ariacakes. :O

That depends on your language (and dialect) :P
What may sound the same to you could be pronounced very differently by someone else.

To me, at least two of those sound very different.

Yeah, I can't think of a situation where au sounds like the other two. I mean, I know what it would take, but I can't think of any words where that happens. . .
