Hello,

 I am one of the folks, who help the transplators and
the guys from the Czech tv-station named TV3 to do
correctures on the skripts of Babylon 5 and we are in
the present time at the beginning of the 2nd season.
 The thing I wanted to ask is the kind of origin of
the word Z'Ha'Dum.

 Is it somehow a echo of the Tolkien's Khazad Dum in
Moria, where Gandalf died (and was "reborn"
afterwards) or
 could it be, that you used some Slavic language as
the basic, becasue of the word "zahada", which means
"mystery".

 I am asking this, because it will give us an answer
of how to pronounce this word in our dubbed version.


 Thanks a lot,

Alex Schneider

Za-ha-doom.

You pronounce it with a slight Vorlon accent.
