So.. how are you supposed to pronounce Virgilia? I mean the "virgi" part.

Also, should Kanon be pronounced like kah-nohn (like the anime) or cannon?

I heard Lambda is said like the animal lamb, but is Lambdadelta's supposed to be like lahm or lamb?

And one more..
Spoiler for EP5:
I beleive Kanon is pronounced "cannon" since it seems to me to be a reference to Canonization in Catholicism. In fact Kanon is a greek word.

What is Canonization?

Simply put, canonization is the process by which an individual is elevated to sainthood by the Catholic Church.

Saints are presented to believers as role models whose lives are considered worthy of imitation.

The word "canonization" comes from the Greek word "kanon", which means a standard or measuring rod.
