Is it "Two Kzinti walk into a bar..." or "Two Kzintis walk into a bar..."?

(Interesting side note: "Kzintis" gets a red spellcheck underline, "Kzinti" does not.)

And while we're at it, WYN is pronounced "win" - not "ween" or "wine", correct?

[Steve Cole]

WYN = win

SFU: One Kzinti, two Kzintis
Niven: One Kzin, two Kzinti

And how is Lyran pronounced?

I once heard someone say ISC as "essk" and didn't believe me when I said it's "eye ess see".

According to SFB Module C1, it's "Lear-uhn"; while "eye-ess-see" is indeed correct, according to Module C2.

Also, the SFU has the plural of "Gorn" as "Gorns", unlike over in the Franchise. There are three main Gorn "ethnicities", one for each of the three Gorn home worlds in Confederation space. These worlds had been seeded with Gorn populations in the distant past; other planets, such as the now-lost Paravian home world, also had Gorn (or Gorn-related) populations settled there by the mysterious "Lizard Kings". (The Gorns on Paravia were almost wiped out by an asteroid strike; the survivors rapidly evolved into the bird-like Paravians.)

Interesting. I had no idea some Gorn settled in Paravian space.
