    i'm looking at Heyes, siogfionsceal and thaedydal in particular.

    how do you pronounce these names?

    the two latter ones are a complete mystery to me.

    heyes, is it hayes or highs?

    I would have thought it obvious that simu was pronounced see-moo. sim-ooh, why that's just silly.
