Re: How to pronounce - Gytha
If we're looking at Nanny Ogg, it sounds like GUYtha in the UK videos etc. I don't imagine it has much usage outside the Discworld, but if it does, then presumably GEEtha would be sufficiently accurate for most purposes.

Before certain vowels it is pronounced like the Modern English "y" in the word "yes": gifu. When "g" is used before other vowels it is pronounced the same as Modern English "g" in "golden": goda. Some editors indicate this voiced pronunciation of "g" by putting a dot above the consonant.
