Pronouncing "Kraken"

Deefstes · Apr 3, 2009

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.

"Cracker" about sums it up

Uh-Oh....a vacation from ScubaBaord may follow that comment

:joke: of course

And I put my vote in to guess "cracken" not "crayken"
