    How to pronounce "Mjolnir"?

    Like This Thread!
    Can anyone help me out? I need to know the correct pronunciation of Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. How the heck do you say that??

    I forget how I learned to pronouce it. Maybe it was from the Fantastic Four cartoon, or Wizard.

    Howdy,

    After a quick Google search, I found this page that says it's "myeul-neer" (which about matches what HelloKittyKat posted, but adds in the umlaut that shows up in some spellings of it).

    Along the way, I found that about.com feels it's necessary to provide pronounciation guides for "Thor" and "Baldur," but not "Mjolnir." Hrm.
