Reisal Posted April 16, 2012 Something that's bothered me for a while is the way it is pronounced which is either the first part of (Caco) the word being like Cock-o or Cake-o. Which way do the Doomworlders pronounce the monster name? 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted April 16, 2012 DoomUK said:I've always pronounced it like this. I find that dictionaries seem to suggest schwa far, far too often in the English language to the point where 90% of vowels are "uhh". We must sound like a lot of cretins if we're supposed to talk that way. Probably why people are always accusing me of having a pretentious British accent :P 0 Share this post Link to post

I just pronounce vowels that way naturally. 0 Share this post Link to post

MSPaintR0cks Posted April 16, 2012 I pronounce it totally german sounding, something like "Kaa-ko-demon", with the "a" long sounding like in "scar", while adding my saxon dialect. :D Otherwise I would say something like "cake-o-demon" 0 Share this post Link to post

Krispy Posted April 16, 2012 Apparently it's pronounced with the emphasis on 'de', but I always say 'cacodemon'. 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted April 16, 2012 I pronounce it as it is written (kakodemon), but if I speak English, I'll say Cack-o-demon. It's the closest pronunciation that would feel both natural in English and close to its etymology.Krispy said:Apparently it's pronounced with the emphasis on 'de', but I always say 'cacodemon'. Different languages place the stress on whatever syllables feel most natural for them. 0 Share this post Link to post
DoOmEr4LiFe Posted April 16, 2012 I pronounce the Caco in Cacodemon exactly how you say 'Cac' in the word cackle. As in "I cackle at anyone who pronounces cacodemon differently". 0 Share this post Link to post
lupinx-Kassman Posted April 16, 2012 When I was little I couldn't remember the name, so I called them catacomb demons, or occasionally, just catacombs. 0 Share this post Link to post

yellowmadness54 Posted April 16, 2012 I always used it as onomatopoeia for its lightning attack (I even figured that its lightning balls gave it its name) Cack-o-demon. 0 Share this post Link to post

Vordakk Posted April 17, 2012 Proper pronounciation can be heard in the Deicide song "Satan Spawn, The Caco-Daemon", which is Track 1 from their second album "Legion". 0 Share this post Link to post
kmxexii Posted April 17, 2012 I've always pronounced it with a long A, and even though I know the etymology implies a short A, I'll probably keep thinking "cake". 0 Share this post Link to post
