And he himself was a Brabanter, so he would have pronounced it "vɑɲ ˈʝɔç", which is virtually impossible to Anglicise usefully.

Pulled out my Gordon's Introduction to Old Norse. Best I can reconstruct it is [ˈlɛivz̠ ˈɛiˌriːksˌson], so rhymes with save, but with that good old Norse -r that's kind of pronounced like a retracted z.

My understanding is that the pronunciation at the time would have been, approximately, "Dong Key-Shot-tay." [doŋ kiˈʃote]
The x moved from a sh-sound to a ch-sound fairly recently.

In Danish and Norwegian. In Swedish, Icelandic and some western Norwegian dialects, it rhymes with "safe".

Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So, instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts.

By a charming coincidence, there's an obsolete English word of the same meaning as renege that's even closer to Magritte's first name, "renay".
Too bad that would require more explanation than is warranted for a lovely pun-based drawing.

History will remember you as the feckless Quisling you are. Shame on you.

To add to the previous, and correct, answers, the T'au were, from their introduction, an uncharacteristically hopeful and high-sci-fi faction that really stood out against the various shades of over the top morally at-best grey factions. In response, later writers have made them more grey too.

As a patron, this is genuinely my favorite content you've produced in months. Excellent premise and execution.
