I got one problem with loo-cah-vee. I don't think there's actually u: and I:. They should be both short in Latin (and hochdeutsch). But I might be wrong reading English pronouncation.

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

In Latin, U, V, W are all the same letter, pronounced Oow, so it should be u: I'm pretty sure. And in "Veni, Vidi, Vici", all words that end in -i, they're all pronounced -ee

Ok, I can imagine that Saturday night live Italian pronouncation.

The first option. That's how I always imagined it, anyway.

I'm guessing it's pronounced similar to how it is in Russian:

The Russian word lukavy (лукавый) means "deceptive". It is commonly used as a euphemism for the Christian Devil. It is related to the Greek word lykaugea, which means "twilight".


Personally, I say it as Loo Sah Vee, with the same emphasis as the word Lucifer



Impressive. Now I want to know how a native speaker would pronounce lukavy.


Good luck finding someone from Ivalice! ;)
