Question on pronunciation. As a non-dutch speaker I would pronounce Ezel as "eezel" but I have also heard it as "azel". Any ideas?

Phonetically "Eh-zehl" in Dutch and German.

Thanks Jake. So Ezel is pronounced with the long a (English) vowel sound - sort of like Aizel ?

Like the "ai" as in "aid". Not with the "ai" in "chai".
