Pronunciation

can anybody supply a pronounciation for her name? it isn't obvious for those with english as a secondary language...

I'm not sure Burroughs ever provided one, and the conventions of pronunciation in the Barsoomian language would not necessarily be the same as those in English. But since the spelling is purportedly that of the English-speaking John Carter, we can probably assume that the name would be pronounced according to English conventions. That would give us a Dejah with vowel sounds consisting of a short E (or perhaps long A) in the first syllable followed by a short O sound in he second. As for the consonents, they would be the normal D and English J (that is, the same as a soft G, not the Y sound of German and other languages), with a final silent H. Thoris would have the soft (not the hard) TH sound; the or would be pronounced as in the English word or, and the is with a short I and normal S (not Z). BPK 19:14, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Picture <> Description

Please exchange the current picture for something that better fits the description (in the article itself).

Of all the pictures you get when googling "dejah thoris" (even when safesearch is on), this must be the least representative of the textual description given of all results! The Martians would look down upon Earth's inhabitants because they have depicted them wearing clothing indeed...

It is pretty much the first representation of DT, though. And, frankly, too many of the current representations are basically pornography -- cheesecake at best. Definitely don't do justice to the dignity of the character. BPK (talk) 14:29, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Other mentions

Hello,

Should it be added that one of the vessels in the manga serie Gunnm (battle angel Alita) is called Dejah Thoris ?
