Male names:

• accent is on the first syllable except when it is a three syllable name beginning with a vowel with a closed second syllable, in which case the accent is on the second syllable, therefore El’adhrel but Alcan’dhor

"enh?" used at the end of a sentence to indicate a question does not carry a long a sound, but rather the nasal enh sound similar to "hein" used by the French.
