hehe.. my friend came over (one who also plays morrowind) and he pronounced Chitin differntly. I pronounce it like it sounds
Chi-tin
He pronounces it like
Kite-en

I remember learning about chitin in my biology class...
It was during a chapter on bugs... it was really icky when we had to disect stuff, I'm glad we didnt have to disect a cockroach or something like that.

Chitin is actually pronounced "Heetee." The C and the N are silent.

uhh no.
chitin is the stuff that makes a bugs shell hard or something
there fore the correct pronunciation would be the same as that which is:
KITE-in

I personally like Aardvark's story best. Heetee.
=D
BattleMage on 5/6/2002 at 21:52
You really only need to think about this for a few seconds. It's obviously "Heetee"
jstnomega on 27/6/2002 at 05:03
actually, it's pronounced CHIT-LIN, like the soul food you-don't-wanna-know-what-it-is
the 'L' is invisible
a know-it-all NPC told me so
