It does for me. It's a portmanteau of voxel and libre wit the last l of the first word and first l of the 2nd word shared. If you don't pause at the caps and just roll straight through. It rolls just fine and is rather clever.

I think Libre in general is an awkward sound for me

Lee-bruh. I don't really see a problem.

Depends really. I say it this way, but talked to a Spanish speaker who said it was Lee-bree.

In Spanish it would be lee-bray

As a Spanish speaker, this makes me uncomfortable. Not saying you're wrong, just... English is weird

[–] SurvivalMariner@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Maybe I got this wrong, how would you pronounce it?

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

I don't know, I'm not a native English speaker.
