Okay, but the bigger challenge is how to pronounce all of these words when you read them for the first time in a book. Sometimes it's as if the writer just smashed his fist on the keyboard and whatever pops on screen he decides to use as the name of the next alien/planet or whatever. Bye the way, I'm not just referring to the words in this blog.

Excellent blog, Tasty. :) But you've omitted what must be, in my experience at least, the most-misspelled name in all of Star Wars: Pellaeon. ;)

"Nien Nunb"
"Ten Numb"

Are very often spelled incorrectly as well.
