Pronouncing "Kraken"

[irishsquid]

I was just wondering what the proper pronounciation (or is that pronunctiation) is for "Kraken".

I've always assumed it to be "cracken" as in "cracker" but with an n as opposed to and r at the end.

Now it seems I may have been wrong but I'm still not sure if it is "crahken" or "crayken" as I've heard both.

Maybe "The Kraken" can even enlighten us on this one.

I've met the Kraken, I know the Kraken, I've dived with the Kraken. It's pronounced however you wish, just not SIR! He works for a livin'.

it's pronounced 'hey, baby!'

hey, baby!

So, we should roll the "r"?

 

[BabyDuck]

well, *he* does, but he won't make you do it...

As he gets older and stiffer it might be pronounced creakin'
