Reminds me of the name C&#x27;Baoth in the popular Thrawn trilogy. In the anniversary edition Timothy Zahn wrote somewhere that the name is actually pronounced (iirc) &quot;sebayoth&quot; and if he had known people would have such problems he&#x27;d have spelled it differently.<p>I&#x27;d never have guessed that pronunciation.
