Pen-drak-en

People who pronounce it pen-drake-n are wrong and those who pronounce it pendragon should be shot for their own good.

You guys have no idea how compliicated this thread was to read for a non-native speaker. Drak as in accumulate? Drake as in ache? I used to say Pen-drake-n until I heard Henry Hyde use the other form on 'View from the Veranda'.
