How do you pronounce Fabala?

It's been bugging my way WAY too long!
Me and my stepmother have different opionions on how to say it.

Pha- Baaaa- laaaah hahah I cant really type it.

Fab - uh - Luh - that's how the audio book pronounces it.

ar
Hmm... but the audio book also says "Fee-yar (as in yard) -O? LOL... I always said "FAAABAAaALAAA" And never liked it much? I like Fab-uh-luh, actually.

I say mine as "Fab-a-la", and Thropp as "Th-ropp" (as in "drop"). Oh, and I'm getting the audiobook for Wicked soon, so I'll try to get some sentences for the pronuncitations of Fabala and others, like, Elphie, Fae, Fiyero, Ama Clutch, Milla, Boq,G(a)linda, Avaric, Crope, Tibbet, Frexspar, and others, if need be.

Fabala :heart:'s you!

:typing:

Thanks everyone! I was always pronouncing it wrong.

Well I always thought Elphaba was pronounced like

Elphaaaaa-ba.....

I pronounced it that way in my head throughout the book so got a bit confused when I first saw the play. *rolleyes*

i always pronounced it like it was spelled. oh and when people are typing it as fab-uh-luh are they pronouncing the "fab" like its pronounced in fabulous. thats not how i say it anyway, but i was just wondering.

i was not one who posted, but i don't say the "fab" like in "fabulous". i pronounce it "fah-buh-luh", as in the musical pitch (fa, a long long way to run). sorry, that was a dumb comparison. hopefully that helped you though. =]

lol ok thanks that how i thought it was pronounced.

Now I'm going to have to get the audio book! I've always pronounced Fabala fa (a long long way to run) ba (sheep!) la (...like the la in Popular). I guess that was completely wrong!

"Nessarose" do you live in the capital region of NY, 'cuz NYC is 4 hours from here. i was just wondering. and idk 'cuz ur all confusifing me

I'm having a bit troulbe with pronouncing the Grimmerie can someone tell me hwo to pronounce it
?

I've always said Grimmerie as "Grim-mer-rie" even though I think thats wrong.

I'd say Fabala is like Elphaba, but without the "El".

Grimmerie: grim-er-ee

I just had this convo with a friend yesterday! Her dad thought it was "grim-er-ie' but she was saying "No, I don't think so..."

Grimmerie-grim(grim reaper,haha)-mer(like mermaid)-ie(e)..
Fabala-Fab(fabulous)-a(uh)-la(luh)
That's my way of typing it.It's not the easiest

Re stories being over, don't forget Tibett.

Ugh, I had something I wanted to ask in this thread... I was just reading the book last night and I was like,"How do you pronounce this?" So, I thought I would remember. But since i have such a terrible memory... Lol That's terrible.Lmao... Anyway.. I have another one that I do remember... How do you pronounce Melena? Like... Mell-eh-nuh?I don't think I know...

Yeah the audiobook (and I how I pronounce it in my head) says it Mel (rhymes with smell) - e (long E) - nah.

Thanks, I still don't remember what I was going to ask before....
