It took me a while to realise that "wraith" was not pronounced "wrath"...

I can't say them together anymore. Actually, it remindes me of the tounge twister warmups I used to have to sing in choir class. "One black bug bled blue-black blood, the other black bug bled blue." Heck, I can't even type it correctly. I would end up saying 'blug" instead of "bug" and all kinds of fun stuff like that. |

Tis true, but the question is why? I held the word in the same contention. But it's spelled just like it sounds...I must be mental

I think if the spelling were "wraeth" I wouldn't have ever had any problem with it. Or maybe I just like the word "wrath"...

ummm.... How do you guys think wrath is pronounced?
I've always heard it as closer to roth than rath....

I'va always thought it like rath. Wrath. roth sounds strange to me. But I'll guess it depends on where you live and such.

Doesn't Gollum pronounce it like the word faith and says, “wraiths on wings”?

The "W" is silent. The "R" isn't. The "A" is long. The "I" modafys the "A". And the "TH" makes the same sound it always does. Hope this helps!  Edit: Due to problems understanding me I changed the "I" parts text.

Wrath can rhyme with bath, but I've also heard it rhymed with hoth (as in the ice planet where the great white three toed sloth lives). Of those I think I'm partial to hoth...

It afects the "A" but doesn't make any noise itself.

P.S. How did I break the 90 second rule?

Wraiths are undead.
