Don’t really roll off the tongue does it?

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 33 points 7 months ago (14 children)

It does for me. It's a portmanteau of voxel and libre wit the last l of the first word and first l of the 2nd word shared. If you don't pause at the caps and just roll straight through. It rolls just fine and is rather clever.

I think Libre in general is an awkward sound for me

Why? Most people's last names are more cumbersome.

I've not heard it pronounced, but it seems some here are verbalizing it as lee-bruh. In my head it's always been lee-bree which is just an awkward pair of syllables.
