We have no idea how this name is actually pronounced! It's one of those "remove all the vowels" abbreviations where it is assumed that the audience already knows what the word is. Presumably they did know when it was written 3000-ish years ago. But today?
As I understand it, in the Hebrew as it was written at that time, it was standard to only write down the consonants, because, as you say, everyone* knew what vowels are to be used there.
(*) Every one that mattered. In other words, the Israelite Priests and some Israelite scholars.
Wikipedia has this on the topic (as well as other info):
The god's name was written in paleo-Hebrew as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (יהוה in block script), transliterated as YHWH; modern scholarship has reached consensus to transcribe this as "Yahweh".
Though now that I re-read it, 'consensus to transcribe this as' I realise that does not mean there is also 'consensus to pronounce this as'.
I mean you could ask an appropriate scholar of the region and time-frame, but most of those are likely Rabbis, and ask any five Rabbis a (seemingly) simple question, get at least a dozen answers back.
I would bet on Yuffie over 98+% of the threats in Hogwarts-verse with a few basic defenses.
Yeah, I'd be in 100% agreement with that. In fact, I'd be all in favour of Al
et al. doing the multiverse a solid favour by taking a brisk jog through that universe and radically fixing a whole lot of it's problems and problematic elements except for two, no three things:
1: They don't deserve to have to be the ones that un-#$%^ that universe any more than most of the beings in it deserve to live in such a bigoted hell-hole
2: Joanne and her assorted bigotries don't deserve the attention or any further enabling
and
3: Our wonderful purveyor of Words most definitely doesn't deserve to have to slog through it all (again?), particularly when they could be using those brain-cycles to come up with more new and vastly less problematic Words for us all!
And I'd give it a month before Alchemist exterminates the dementors.
I'd worry if he didn't at least get started on it within mere hours after arriving, because it would mean that there was something serious enough going on to delay him fixing one of the biggest problems in that universe. Should probably set up a series of Nuremberg-style trials for all of those that set up, actively supported or even just substantially enabled the Dementors and Azkaban as a whole.
The entire Ministry of Magic staff pool would be far more than just decimated, and even more so the higher you went up the ranks, but that's a much desired feature, not any kind of bug at all.
So this chapter explains how Trigon gets killed and the weapon that got made to do the deed. Wonder how long before Raven's family reunion they drop in?
Ever since Imra's outburst at the start of her No Good Very Bad Day, I've wondered why so many readers here immediately think that 'Trigon's Bane' is sword, or at least a (probably melee) weapon. (Remember, she was speaking 30th century Interlac at the time, and we don't know exactly who or what was doing the translating here. It was probably a spell of Al's, but it might have been the Legion Flight Ring(s), or it could have been her using her telepathy to do it herself. Obviously not via Al or even Ganthet, but there was a whole space station of other people to choose from that don't have even a scrap as much psi defences as the two I mentioned above.
Sure, Al's been spending a lot of time crafting things for a while, especially arms and armour, but Trigon's Bane could just as easily be a person, a spell(-effect) or an animal, vegetable or fungus or even one or more of the endless sea of microbes that are everywhere on Earth. It doesn't have to be an actual weapon.
Hell, probably the easiest and most reliable way to sort it would be to take some time to train Raven herself whilst he's in the neighbourhood so that she can be Trigon's Bane herself. It'd certainly have endless ripples of other improvements to the TT world, not least for Raven herself.
So this chapter explains how Trigon gets killed and the weapon that got made to do the deed.
Just because something referred to as 'Trigon's Bane' exists/will exist, it doesn't mean it killed or destroyed him any more that the existence of Wolfsbane or Hensbane mean that Wolves or Hens are extinct. It could also be something that massively saps his power when outside of his own realms, in the rest of the DC 52 or just the TT world in particular.
