... and decide how to pronunce "Perun".

Just for the reference. Name came from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perun who is the ancient Slavic god of thunder (similar to Zeus in Greek). But I also named it because name was short and domain name was available. So reference to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perun is not important.

I pronounce it as with the stress on the U (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_back_rounded_vowel).
And "E" I pronounce as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid_front_unrounded_vowel.

How do you pronounce it? Because if I didn't know pronunciation I would do it probably differently.

I think I pronounce it quite similarly, it's pretty close to how you'd pronounce it if you'd say it "in German".

In Spanish, if I would pronounce it (almost*) as Anton does, it would sound too similar to "Perú" (the country) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peru.
*I would pronounce the "r" as ɾ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_and_alveolar_flaps).

Chances are I would rather stress the "e", instead of the "u" (which is what I have been doing all along before coming across this :-)

Hey, @podviaznikov I've just created #243.
Should I merge it?
