Game Of Thrones Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Because I always thought it was a special word referring to a caste of Drowned God priests, and always pronounced it 'DAHM-fair'. Did GRRM confirm that it's Damp Hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonisHenryTudor Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yep. Someone asked him to pronounce it and he said Damp-hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did GRRM confirm that it's Damp Hair? I know, right? I didn't get it till I heard it in audio, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonCon's Red Beard Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I realised when Asha called him "pelo mojado*" in the Spanish version... up until that, I thought they were two different people. And one of them was kinda French :/ *literally, damp hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalalOfDorne Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Lol. Yes its Damp Hair. A lot of people, myself included, only got it a while after reading the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyrnaSnowBunnyAvenger Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yep. Someone asked him to pronounce it and he said Damp-hair. And it is, by far, the most interesting thing about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Hendrix of Rock Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I didn't really get the confusion about this, wasn't he actually described as having damp coming of his hair?That and the Iron Born thing with nicknames. But we all miss/ interpret wrongly something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Goat Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I was actually shocked by how many who didn't get this. I always thought it was so incredibly fitting and logical as nickname for Aeron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arya Weinergaryen Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I thought he was supposed to be quasi undead, or something, what with the drowned man, schtick he's got going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here...When I saw GRRM's interview I was surprised they even asked him that...The guy has wet hair throughout the whole series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light a wight tonight Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I actually got it, but thought that "damn fair" would be a quirky alternative pronunciation. Doesn't make up for all the obvious stuff I missed, like Renly and Loras being a couple, with all those hints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Pigeon Pie Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 His hair can be wetter than Drew Barrymore in a biker bar and I'll still refer to him as the "damn-fair".Damn you, GRRM. Why can't you make something at least a little bit intriguing in Aeron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
