Geez, this thread has attracted a lot of wyrdos.
"Wy" = a "V" sound doesn't it? (like xy = Z sound - xylophone)

Welcome to the English language. For bonus points show the correct pronunciation of "Sean Bean" with reference to other words containing "ea".

Wyrd (Würd) - it has a sort of muddy sound, as "w" and "v" are sued and pronounced somewhat interchangeably, but "y" is pronouced as a "ü" like in Fürher - kind of a "yuh" sound, so it's closer to "word", a bit like "werd", but not at all like "weird" or "wired", unlike wyvern, which is a completely different matter and from a completely different language group.

Not unless you have some weird accent!
BTW Didn't you like my version of that book's cover in post #26 or something?
