It mostly depends if you use the kae sound as in the Bael or in the lengthened a (old dutch way of notation). I think it is mostly meant as:

kaah-Téj-mie

iphdrunk wrote:Only my 2 cents (Euro cents :) ) . Since Ryzom is developped by a french company, I always thought that the pronounciation is more french-based (stressing the last syllabe, no i->"ai", etc.)

For example:
Pyr, imho is intended to be more like "peer" than "pyre"
Kirosta (chi-rosta) not like 'kair'
etc.

Nice post, Thara :)
I agree, I pronounce Matis ma-teese, and Atys a-teese, rather than mat-is or at-is.

It's also kippe (kip-E) and kiten (kite-in)

Just guessing here that it's a Kana word, sooo : 「かえてみ」 for all you with Japanese characters installed 「サイノは日本語をわかりますよ...ちょっと」. Pronunication groupings would be ka (like 'kah')-e (like 'eh')-te (like 'teh')-mi (like 'me'), syllabic blocks would be kae-te-mi.

Well, in the netherlands during the 17th and 18th century, the lengthening of a sounding letter (vowel?) could be done in several ways, spelling was not yet defined so people tended to do what they liked best.
One way was to spell a letter double: /aa/
The other common way was to use the letter /e/ as a signaller that a sounding letter was lengthened. So /ae/, /ue/ and /oe/ in which the last one gained a different sound later on.
Thus /aa/ and /ae/ were actually the same sound!

This answer your question how I got to the change?
