Nehanda... She can fucking rot. Like from COBAB I knew there was something fishy about the assassination of the royal family, but... Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, also chapter 65 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Zélie deserves happiness!!! Let Zélie be happy 2020
#LetZélieBeHappy2020 😭
I have a feeling we’re gonna have to wait longer than 2020 for that.
DREW MY DND BABE, NEHANDA. She’s an asshole, but she’s a motherly asshole and just wants you to eat your carrion no matter who you are.

Hello! I'm fairly new to the cobab fandom, and I was wondering if you know how all the main names are pronounced? I kept kinda changing them up in my head as I was reading cuz I'm not sure which syllable are emphasized and whatnot, but would like to get a more concrete pronunciation in my head before reading the sequel. Thank you!
Disclaimer that I am not at all positive on the names I haven’t heard spoken in official channels! Anybody welcome to correct! I would like to listen to the audio version so I can hear more name pronunciations, lol.
Here’s an old post I did on Tzain’s name: https://ba-mi-soro-orisha.tumblr.com/post/176394059462/do-you-know-how-to-pronounce-tzain#notes which includes a still working soundclip. So, Tzain is pronounced like the name Zane with a hard “z” at the beginning.
Zélie, Tomi has pronounced like Zay-lee (zay, like say but with a buzzy z sound). Check out around 1:10.
Amari I believe is like Uh-mar-e.
Inan I’m fairly confident is Ey-nan. Ey like “hay” without the “h”.
Roën is should be like Row-in.
Saran I’ve heard as Saw-run and Sair-an (with sair rhyming with hair). My inclination is that Saw-run is the more correct pronunciation.
Nehanda I believe is pretty much like it’s spelled. Knee-hand-uh. I tend to pronounce it more like Neigh-honda in my head.
Were there more you wanted? I have had a kind volunteer who helped us with all the Orisha names in the past. o3o
