How is Luclin pronounced?

[t0lkien]

In group today the question was asked, and no-one had a definitive answer.

Looslin not Lucklin

Like Lucid, or Lucy. You don't pronounce it Luckid or Lucky.

At least thats how I see it.

I could see Luke-lin. Luclin is named for Sir Lucan, which like the King Arthur character is pronounced with a K, not an S, sound.

But in my mind, the extra consonant between the vowels should change the pronunciation. So, no long U. Luck-lin.

Definitely not Loose-anything.

This is c followed by a consonant though, not c followed by a vowel.

Luck-id and Lucky are both c followed by consonant.

Ergo, Luck-lin.
