[COMPLETE] Daring Deeds of Famous Pirates, by Edward Keble Chatterton - icequeen
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
Jennifer

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=falsejenno wrote: ↑May 23rd, 2021, 7:17 pm Can anyone help with the pronunciation of Dromyowe ?

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?

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.

Thank you for your kind feedback! It means a lot as I was pretty nervous about doing my first recording.Amendis wrote: ↑May 23rd, 2021, 5:00 pmShiver me timbers, Lindsey, if you were looking for notes, you will have to re-record with far less accuracy and excellence.

The length is 23:33
I look forward to receiving the proof listening notes.
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!

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!
