Ammi and Nahum... Two more bizarre names, with no notes from the author on pronunciation, that I had no idea what to do with. So much so that my pronunciation of them varies over the course of the story. Even Zenas, the few times it occurs, gets more than one pronunciation. Oh well. Note to authors: if you use exotic names like that, tell the reader, somehow, what you intend the pronunciation to be. A footnote or *something*. I bloody hate this...
