Completely irrelevant thought here... but how do you think PNS Tepes is pronounced in-universe?

1. A more western-style "Tee-pees" or "Tepp-pees"
2. Or a more Romanian "Sepp-ish"?

I always went with #1 (wester-style) myself until finding out the more correct Romanian version.

I understand Tepeshh is correct.

A quick search seems to indicate that Vlad's last name had a accent marks, a little hook under the T and the s. So, if the PNS Tepes is named after the infamous Romanian and pronounced the same way, it would be pronounced something like Tseh-pesh, or Zzeh-pesh.

Thank you for your replies everyone. After calling it "Tee-pees" for so long, it's a bit weird re-reading IEH.
