Sigil pronunciation (lemmy.world)

For many years I've been pronouncing Sigil as Sij-ill, like the word sigil. Recently I read something in a post from WotC saying that it is pronounced sig-ill (hard G). This just sounded weird to me, so I am continuing to say it with a J sound. You know, like in GIF 😏

Anyway, are there any other names of things in D&D that made you go "huh?" when you heard the official pronunciation?

That makes sense. It is what they decided to name it according to the lore. Of course, anyone who decides that they don't like the pronunciation can pronounce it differently in their campaign world.
