Anyone know how to pronounce Fafhrd?

Important as I will probably be doing a Nehwon / Lankhmar RQ2 game.

Please help

My internet skills tell me the following;


Quote
I believe the original story Ill Met in Lankhmar gives it as "Faf-hrud". Or at least, that's how Mouser pronounces it after Fafhrd spells it for him.

Just finished re-reading "Ill Met in Lankhmar" - thanks for the reminder of that quote. However in the short para discussing this, "Faf-hrud" is how Mouser said he thought it was said, but Fafhrd himself then replies "No, just faf-erd"!

Just thought I'd post that to be nerdy!
