fun with English...

[nemafakei]

Good, but still nope.

Think alternative spellings of things.

[Apollyon]

can you give us a better clue?

[Cyborg]

Heh this sounds weird but I think of offend or often. Don't know how these words can make use of that x though...

[nemafakei]

The x is not a ks or a z sound.

[Cyborg]

ok another complete random guess from me.: Alien?

[nemafakei]

Nope. I'll not say no to everything, just yes when you've got it.

[Apollyon]

synonym?

[Cyborg]

ashes?

[Cyborg]

Orphane?

I don't know what the x is...

Fun with English

Thats a joke

[emprworm]

the only pronunciations for X that I know of are "z", "ks" (normal x), and silent.

if silent, then it is french...right? Only french words have silent X's..right? But this is about english stuff.

unless there is another way to pronounce an X that i havent thought of.

[Cyborg]

I am trying different ways to pronounce the x

(well actually I'm ignoring it and guessing in the hope that nema will finally say: That's the word, Cyborg!)

[Apollyon]

is it pronounced sd, like in mazda? the x that is.

[Dunenewt]

All French x's aren't silent

Take the French name Xavier.

The x is pronounced like a z

[Cyborg]

but nema told us the x isn't pronounced as z.

I have tried turning x into sd, but with bad effect...

[nemafakei]

The x is not silent, nor an sd like the z in syzygy. I can't find any references to its restriction in this form to BrE, so I presumre the Americans still have this form of word, albeit a little dated.
