French Braids by Twisted Sisters-French Braiding Home Page. Ren Faire: Language - Pronunication. Erhaps the most obvious difference is that of the R sound like that in mother. The R is drawn out into an elongated pirate's ARRRRRRRRR. Don't elide your R! In a word like father it is not a lisped f-aaah-th-eh, it is f-aaaa-th-rrrrrrrr. The A is pronounced like apple and the R strongly enunciated producing (Mpg) (aifc) (au) F-aaaa-th-rrrrrrr.

Likewise don't drop your H -- hither is h-ih-tth-rrrrr, not h-ih-tth-eh. The best practice tip for these is to open your mouth and exaggerate both the sound and the shape of your lips. These cheezy sound clips demonstrate some common pronunciations. (Mpg) (aifc) (Au) the SHORT-A - sounds like ahh as in apple or wax - want, father, water. The most obvious of the pronunciations is the want sound, iterated over and over with words like: father, water, salt, and fall. Here is how to pronounce the beginning of the (Mpg) (aifc) (Au) 23rd psalm from the King James Bible of ~1611. Renaissance Faire Glossary. Southern Friends of Faire.

Wassail Drinking and Blowing Horns First we'd like to say, "Yes, they are real cattle horns". All of our drinking horns are hand-crafted (aside from the cow's effort). First, using a steel brush, we scrub them out and rivet D-rings on for the strap. We then coat the inside with a polymer resin that seals the horn (acting as a lining) and leaves you tasting your beverage, cold or hot, and not the horn! The "basic model" sizes include: medium, large,xl,xxl and huge(The huge ones can be a little hard to come by at times, so be patient.)

We also have a variety of blowing horns upon which, with a little practice, several loud and boisterous notes can be played. [Left: blowing, small aluminum combo, medium aluminum combo and large combo w/o cup] [Right: brass cup and tip] The pictures don't do them justice. We can also do custom orders which include brass accessories and leather braid-work. Visit our Crafts Calendar to find out when Wassail Horns will be visiting a location near you. Pendragon Costumes.
