I think the reader has the right to pronounce a made-up name or word just the way she or he wants to. But lots of readers would like to know how I, the maker-up, pronounce it. And since it does have an effect on the sound and rhythm of a sentence, and since names are magic in Earthsea, I am glad to say how I hear them. See similar questions...

Melt some chocolate by puting a container with the chocolate in a pan of boiling water, stir the chocolate when it is getting hot. Some experimentation regarding what chocolate to use is in place. I used chocolate chips of from Girardelli. One should probably aim for dark and not too sweet chocolate. Pour the chocolate over the beans and smear it so that each bean is covered - you should have a single layer of covered beans not too far apart. Place the beans in a pan (no teflon) and roast them.

If you've never come across this word before, then (obviously) it's new to you, and so even professional cosmologists sometimes pronounce it wrongly. This then is a good question, but hard to answer in plain text! Basically, the stress is on the third syllable, and the common mistake is to stress the fourth. The confusion presumably arises from knowing how to pronounce "anisotropic", and then thinking that you just pronounce it the same way, but without the final consonant. See similar questions...
