as someone with a fairly complicated by an extremely weird order of consonants last name, I can attest that this isn’t always true.

That… would likely depend a great deal on the culture pronouncing it.
English native speakers would probably pronounce is Dawes-ene. Almost like Dowsing but without the stress on the G.
French native speakers would probably pronounce is Dos-ogne with the G implied but not directly pronounced, same with the e on the end so that more emphasis is on the N. French is funny in that they like to put vowels on the end of their words for the express purpose of not pronouncing them, and only implying with the barest of inflection that they exist.
This concludes Grymauch’s knowledge of linguistics which are probably wrong, but sound neat and fancy and should be discussed in a parlor room with a gentle fire, a pipe and a smoking jacket. Bring your own monocle and waxed mustache. Oh and something fancy sounding to drink, like Cognac or something Grymauch knows nothing about alcohol.

You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not.
Nah, I’m never calling that boss the Architect. Li-hu-vim or Lithium if you’re trolling works just fine.

daw-sayne, or with more inflection, daw-say-ene (but quickly, the last two are practically one syllable, just with a quick “een” like sheen or queen)
kinda like halfway between daw-sane and daw-seen
