Lloth, Lolth, or...
I was thinking about something just now. As she originally appeared, the demoness goddess of the Drow was named Lloth. Later, in the 2E FR, her name was changed to Lolth. I always liked Lloth better. But it just hit me...how do you pronounce Lloth? With the double-L, we might pronounce it "Lil-oth", similar to Lillith (a biblical demoness). I wonder if that was the intent?

Yoth. Heya baby! Yoth on fire!
At the edge of madness, he will show no sadness
Never broken, he'll be back for more
Proven under fire, over trench and wire
No fear of death, he's unshakeable
Forged for the war, he's unbreakable

I also pronounce her as Lol-th. Been in the book so long that way I just got used to seeing and saying it with the second l before the th.
