seriously? where does your name come from anyways?

[Resurrexi]

The "h" should be pronounced like a "k"

"Nee-kill"

It's one of the stamps a book will get while it's being officially approved by the Church.

During the golden age of classical Latin, [i]nihil [/i]was probably pronounced "neel," since [i]nil [/i]is sometimes found as an alternative spelling of the word. In ecclesiastical Latin, however, [i]nihil[/i] should always be pronounced "nee-kill."

ni(as in the knights who say [b]ni[/b]) -hil(as in [b]hill[/b] but not with the thick l in English)

Obst(as in [b]Obst[/b]acle)- at(as in br.[b]at[/b]rocious, pure a)

That's how it sounds like in my head.

Should that be a k as in kill or as more of a soft k/hard ch, like loch?

[Resurrexi]

It is best pronounced as a mix between "h" and "k," if you know what I mean. It's often pronounced exactly like the [i]k[/i] in [i]kill[/i], though.

How do you pronounce Nihil? I just realized I've never heard it used in real life.
