Forgotten Homestuck Facts

The moirail pronounce discussion doesn't make much sense actually. Hussie himself said it doesn't really matter,so why make it a thing?

I don’t choose the topic of conversation, I just answer the questions as the come.

Yeah, I’m not making my thoughts on this any sort of secret.

-Mod L

don't know about you but I took the "mwah rail" thing from Dave to be more a joke on like moirail kisses n shit.

That would also make sense.

That's a great argument for the moirail pronunciation, but of all things i don't think dave would go out of his way to correct the pronunciation of a foreign word and be completely serious about it, it may be ironic. Everyone i talk to pronounces it moyrail.

Here are my thoughts, why would Dave know the proper way to pronounce an alien word? Why would said alien word’s pronunciation be based on a human language? WHY WOULD DAVE EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FRENCH?

moira is pronounced MAW-EE-RAH. syllabes go this way: mo-ira.

Why are well still talking about this?

-Mod L

On Dave's pronunciation of "moirail" as "mwah rail", I figure he's reading it like a French word (think "trois"), and not from the Greek "moira" which it originates from (though, I'll admit, I do not know how "moira" is meant to be pronounced).

I’m still pretty sure he has absolutly no idea on how you’re actually supposed to pronounce it, though I understand that reasoning.

-Mod L

He also said "kismet fish" at some point too. Dave's not very reliable for pronunciation.

He really isn’t.
