Pronunciation of names, Help with names. Options

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here, deep respect and peace to you all!

I have only been studying the The Lesser Key of Solomon for a few months now, I have been reading the version compiled and translated by S.L MacGregor Mathers, with additional material from Aleister Crowley.

As total novice, I would like to follow everything I read, exactly as it is written in the book ( until proved otherwise ), as I feel it is there for a reason, and probably a good one!

I also know in myself I am not ready to start using anything I am reading as I dont fully understand what I am dealing with. however I would like to start learning the invocations and the rituals for when I am ready.

I am having trouble with how to pronounce some of the names in the book, does anyone know of a list that breaks down the names and shows correct way to say them? as I would hate to insult someone or appear to have a lack of respect by not pronouncing their name correctly or for the envocation not to work because of my lack verbal talent!

If anyone can help, please do.

peace respect and safety to you all

Barrie.

This is an overview of the changes in the language since early times:
