The japanese word is pronounced 'Sen-tay' so that's how I've been saying it. And since no one else here in small college town New Mexico is playing (yet) I don't have any cross references.

Going along with the pronounciation, is there an agreed upon definition for the reason the name Sente was given to him. I know it was talked about before as being a path in the country in French, but it is also a term in the board game Go.

I have no idea if getting an agreed upon definition will even help anything, I am very new to ARGs in general, but thought that one agreed upon definition might be useful.

Having actually seen the kanji for the word Sente, in what I believe to be the same context that his name was chosen from, I'm going with the Japanese pronounciation. "Sen" with a short e, "tay" with a long a.

For me he's just good old Sent-ay, but then I was born in Essex so it could probably comes out Senay. Rolling Eyes
