[23Magnum]

is it (me-yol-nir) or (m-jol-nir) i really dont know how to prononciate

Found on a Marvel discussion thread...
"Mjolnir (myOl-near)

Short m followed by a short y (in the same sillible), then a long O & then a short l. You end it by say the word near.

Do not say (My-ol-near). Or (Me-ol-near)."

Those are pronunciations I found somewhere, but I do believe you pronounce the 'j' as a 'y'

What is MJOLNIR Armor?

Well first off, it's pronounced Mee Yole Near, yes - the "j" is pronounced like a "y". It is named for the hammer that Thor used in ancient mythology.

The origin for the word "Mjolnir" is unknown though eptymological speculation has provided thories for its literal translation. The Icelandic verbs mølva (to crush) and mala (to grind) have been suggested as possible translations while another theory suggests that Mjolnir might be related to the Russian word mólnija and the Welsh word mellt (both words being translated as "lightning"). This second theory parallels with the idea that Thor was the god of thunder, therefore might have used lightning as his weapon.

So says adam. I also remember them saying that way on the H2 collector's disc.

Yes, but where'd he get his information from? Maybe it was incorrect.
In any case, I'll try asking my brother who's into all the old English and historical stuff from Europe, so he may know for sure.
