makimonstrous asked: Dear Mr. Rosewater, how is Tezzeret's name pronounced? Is the T at the end silent?
The ending “T” is not silent.
Tez rhymes with “says”.
er rhymes with “her:
et rhymes with “bet”.

Gratuitous Frenchness! Like how you can irritate people both by saying “LAB-ret” (correct) and “luh-BRAY”, depending on the person.

Fun story facts! Tezzeret’s parents never bothered to name him. “Tezzeret” is a word in the Tidehollow dialect meaning “an improvised weapon,” which became his nickname after he used such an item to stab an older boy who had bullied him.
