It's been said before, but I wonder why Wulf has a German accent when he's from Scandinavia?  Sure, why not, I suppose

The Old Norse to English crash course isn't quite as good ;)

When Big Finish did the audios they had a thought that Wulf should pronounce Alpha's name "Yonny" but didn't go with it as it just doesn't sound right.  Wise move.

I don't know... sounds like the kind of thing that could get a tad irritating after a while.  Suppose we'll never know.

D'oh!  ::)

I even tried saying it out loud, but didn't twig that.  :-[

Me too, DDD!  :-[

It's like Twoflower's comments about his work in either Colour of Magic or the Light Fantastic.  Inn Sewer Ants was easy but for a long time I didn't get  'Repeating Sound of Underground Spirits'.

I've just discovered that Tlachtga is a hill a few miles away from my folks' house,  where I grew up. I 'd always connected the name with some similarly titled Aztec or Inca sport I'd read about as a kid.

Sorry, working from memory in early hours of morning with hangover.  Always a good combination, yes?  ::)

And the answer is?  My first thought was 'economics' (echo-gnomics) but gnomes aren't spirits so I'm at least half wrong.

Your answer is correct... Gnomes in their original fairytale conception were indeed spirits.  Blame C. S. Lewis and that saucy Wil Huygen for your modern confusion!

That was the bit that threw me for a while as well.  BTW thanks for correcting my misquote.

What always confused me about that pun was that I don't pronounce economics in that way (Eek-o-nomics).
