Gobaith or Gobiath?

Frederick D'Aubigne · Mon Sep 10, 2007 11:40 pm

I've seen a thread around the boards, but now I can't find it anymore, besides, it never really gave an answer.

Is it Gobaith or Gobiath? I see Gobiath on the map, on the website, but everyone says Gobaith.. Is it a typo I'm inadvertently copying?

abc is right.

Why can't someone fix the map?

Since it's an image now, it will probably need to be redone from scratch or something similar...I guess.

Needs a bit above the A, and the surrounding parchment around the I is a bit too light compared to the parchment around the forest. *Fixes*

Gobiath sounds way better...in my opinion.

A new map in the style of the worldmap is nearly done.

Gobaith, sounds nice when pronounced "Goba - yith" (the 'a' like in 'anti'...the 'i' like in 'in' lol) (to me, at least).

But anyway, the name was chosen long time ago, and...a bit off topic I guess.

Frederick D'Aubigne · Post by **Frederick D'Aubigne** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 1:15 am

Is it not like.. Go-bathe?

Lol...change topic to "How do you pronounce Gobaith?".

Eh, that pronounciation doesn't sound too nice for me >.>

I like to pronounce it Gobiath but will try to spell it Gobaith if this is official.

I always thought like: No way, they would never leave such a typo on an official map.

It is Gobiath! No one really notices that iot spells Gobaith on the map, I did not notice for the first year I played. LOL. Anyways for future reference to all people it is Gobiath.

abcfantasy · Post by **abcfantasy** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 2:11 am

Huh? Your post was misleading.

It spells 'Gobiath' on the map. And it should be 'Gobaith'.

xBaurusx · Post by **xBaurusx** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 3:28 am

I think. it should stay Gobiath as in

Go-bee-ath i think that sounds good.

I thought everyone else was just making a typo when they said "Gobaith".

And as for the pronounciation "GO-BATHE"... wow.

Player1: Wow, look a this place! What's it called?
Player2: GO-BATHE!
Player1: #me looks offended, then smells himself, "I didn't think it was THAT bad..."

I always pronounced it "Go-bayth" with the "AY"making the same sound as "EYE". I guess that's aquired from making my foreign language subject either Latin or Spanish?

Frederick D'Aubigne · Post by **Frederick D'Aubigne** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 3:42 am

Gob-eye-th
Is the same pronunciation as Go-bathe.. :s Just pronounce it..

Richard Cypher · Post by **Richard Cypher** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 3:45 am

I pronounce it as Go-buy-ith

Frederick D'Aubigne · Post by **Frederick D'Aubigne** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 3:48 am

LOL. Who created the name 'Gobaith'? Maybe s/he can tell us the real pronunciation and spelling?

Quinasa · Post by **Quinasa** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 4:07 am

It's Gobaith. Go-bay-eth (though you can pronounce it any which way you want, its the freedom of creativity). It was voted best in the contest for which name the island should be called out of like 6 possible choices.
