Can anyone help with the pronunciation of Dromyowe ? The name of one of the pirates of the Tudor era.
I cannot find any reference other than a listing of his name in a census list. Nothing on how to say his name. I am not sure of its country of origin either.

Cheers

He appears to have been a Breton. https://books.google.com/books?id=Jv7CDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT116&lpg=PT116&dq=Dromyowe&source=bl&ots=OzO2fAJJjx&sig=ACfU3U2tnpzqPYlqczv88IaInRhdoeZNwg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjn-8njouHwAhXTX80KHUXZBwkQ6AEwBXoECAwQAg#v=onepage&q=Dromyowe&f=false


Check https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretons and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breton_language. No help on pronunciation, but maybe a starting point?

I've come up empty on my initial searches.
But, don't be overly concerned. Since it is an obscure name, probably no one knows the proper pronunciation, and it may be, and maybe was, pronounced differently by different people. So, just make your best guess and that will be good enough for us. :)

Or, you might want to post the question in the Help Needed forum. I had to figure out how to say Wriothesley, and I found my answer there.

The length is 23:33

I look forward to receiving the proof listening notes.
Shiver me timbers, Lindsey, if you were looking for notes, you will have to re-record with far less accuracy and excellence. As it is, I have very little to say other than: MAGNIFICENT! PL-OK!
One tiny observation (that I already know is nothing more than an optional correction): there is a subtle mic knock heard at the 33 and 37.5-second marks. But I've discussed this type of thing in another context with our captain and it isn't necessary to make any changes.

Thanks!

Thank you for your kind feedback! It means a lot as I was pretty nervous about doing my first recording.

You mentioned a couple of optional corrections so I've tried to edit out the mic knocks you heard, and I've done some noise cleaning.

Here is the amended version:

The length is still 23:33.

Many thanks!
