Re: How do you say it?
That's how I used to pronounce it, too. Uh-RAY-viss. It sounds more musical that way. Lately, though, I've been pronouncing it AIR-uh-vis because that's the way most people I know pronounce it.
If somebody has an idea for a Narnia comic that they weren't planning on making themselves, I <------ This offer still
would be so grateful if they would send it to me in a PM. I am running appallingly low on ideas...! <-- stands.

Re: How do you say it?
We see a lot of names you don't hear very often other than in the series.
For instance, Tarkaan is pronounced "tar-con" or "tar-khan". "Khan" is a Hindu word for "King". "Tarkhan" was a title used by a Mongals and Turks over thousand of years ago. Honestly, I don't know how "tar" got to be in there. But CS Lewis may have got the inspiration from ancient history "Tarkhan", though changed the spelling to "Tarkaan." I honestly don't know why "Tarkaan" is used after the name instead of before (must be part of the Calormene culture).
And lot of Calormene names sound interchangeable. In The Horse and His Boy, Aravis mentions that her grandfather's name is Rishti Tarkaan and in The Last Battle, the Calormene captain is Rishda Tarkaan. So it's like there's a Rishti Tarkaan and there's a Rishda Tarkaan.

Ah-ra (like the egyptian god)-vis. Jasmine I say Tar-Khan must be because of the fact that I like history and visited India once or twice.
