The Wolf Cub's Handbook By Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell (1949 edition)
“To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it more fit for its prime function of looking forward.”
Margaret Fairless Barber -
Inside the 1949 edition of the handbook there is a section, which might be of interest (and perhaps amusement) to today’s members, outlining the pronunciation of Jungle Names from the Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.
AKELA – Ah-kay-lah. Ah and kay are easy, so is the lah you sing when you are having your singing lesson – Doh, ray,me,fah,soh, LAH.
BAGHEERA – Bah-gheer-ah. First Bah, like a sheep, then Gear (motor cars have them), and lastly Ah.
BALOO – Bah-loo. First Bah, as in Bagheera, them Loo, the last part of Water-loo.
BANDARLOG. Bun-der-loag. The Ban is pronounced Bun (you all know how to say Bun, I know); the Dar is like Dirt without the final T, and Log is like the first part of Loganberry.
KAA. Pronounced like Car, but letting the R be scarcely sounded at all.
MOWGLI. Mou-gly. The first part of Mou(th), and the Gli from glitter.
SEEONEE. Say-oh-knee.
SHERE KHAN. Share-Kharn. Shere is said just like a share of anything. Khan is “can’t” without the final t.
TABAQUI. Tab-ah-ky. Take the first part of Tab(by) cat, then say Ah, and the Qui is Kiss without the ss.
I hope that you have been pronouncing your characters correctly!
