Jasper De asked Janny Wurts:

Hi Janny, I'm a fan of fifteen or twenty years (don't even remember how long), and every once in a while I read all your books again. Every time an immense pleasure (thanks for sharing your work!). A simple question: in the beginning of WOLAS 'sFFALENN is said to be pronounced 'fal-en'. But now I'm at TK again, and the pronunciation changed to 's-fal-en'. Obviously a typo here, but how did you intend it?

Janny Wurts Hi Jasper - thanks for your interest and enthusiasm - looks to me like the first book was the typo, the 's' is pronounced, and not meant to be silent. Hope that clarifies, and so sorry for the mistake in the text. One tries very hard to catch everything, but the odd little bit can fall through the cracks. Your observation has been noted, here, and I will put it on a revisions list. Thank you!
