How do you pronounce Goa'uld?

[LurkerLa]

I say Goh-ah oold.

Question, though. Is the apostrophe meant to be a glottal stop (that's how I treat it) ir is it just suppoed to prevent us from slurring the "auld" in to "ahld"?

Sorry - I think my inner geek just came out.

[Brilliant Mckay]

goar-uld how doo u pronounce it ?

[jds1982]

I like to pronounce it like Machello did.

[thekillman]

i pronounce it like go-a-ould

[Skydiver]

sam pronounces it

gooo-a-oould

jack pronounces it 'gould' (or snakehead)

[Professor D.H.D. Puddlejumper]

The best way to know how to properly pronounce it is to ask a Goa'uld himself. That should settle it.

[awsed24]

i say go-aa-oold

anyone remember how the tok'ra say it?

[Skydiver]

like sam does

Yep, I vote for go-AH-oold too. Not surprisingly, I couldn't resist adding a title to the fantasy Stargate Bookmobile on my site called Goa'uld Grammar Series: Mastering the Apostrophe and the Glottal Stop. I like to think it was Daniel's doing and Jonas confirmed that every alien linguist should own a copy I wonder why it's checked out all the time?
