2·3 years agoYou make a good point about the voicing distinction that I was unsure of, so I looked it up. According to clearly the most authoritative source on the internet, [s] and [z] are both “hissing” sibilants.

1·3 years ago… how do you mean? S’s are sibilants in every variation I know if not silent like in French.

6·3 years agoI thought it looked a bit like an Old English word maybe resurrected for D&D, so I initially thought something like /gεɑs/ (a bit like “gas” or “GEH-ahs”; ain’t no player actually gonna say /ɣ/ or /æɑ/ properly) or /jεɑs/ (“yasss”)
Then I looked it up on Wiktionary. It’s from Irish “geis” with the wrong spelling apparently. Irish spelling do be silly, so all phonetic preconceptions should be checked at the door.
Wiktionary says /ɟɛʃ/ for Irish, anglicized as /ɡɛʃ/ or /ˈɡiː.əʃ/ (gesh and GEE-ush, respectively).
Well, regardless, someone’s getting hurt. Have you tried cutting two whole apples, one on top of the other? It’s non-trivial! They aren’t exactly stable and the rogue’s gonna try to swipe one or both as soon as you move your own fingers out of the way. May as well get it over with and stab the rogue to start.

Obsidian is pretty good. I currently use Logseq, which has a slightly different model that clicked a bit better for me. As a bonus, it’s open-source.
