More importantly what is the official pronunciation of drow? does it rhyme with brow or bro? I've heard both and always felt it was the former not the latter. Long standing dispute in my group ;)

My group has always said drow rhymes with brow. That is the case on streaming shows like Acquisitions, Inc. the C-Team as well. IIRC, D&D Beyond has already begun working with Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray to include a recorded pronunciation guide so that we will be able to click and hear the official WOTC pronunciations. That being said, whatever your group consensus is, is what I'd go with. I know my group's pronunciation of sahuagin (SOW-wah-gin) is different from the official one (suh-WHO-uh-gin).

I say Drow as if it rhymes with trow. It's really hit or miss with the -ow ending in English, but since d- is just a voiced t-, I'm more partial to using the one that comes closest to a word that already exists.
Funny you should mention Sahuagin, that's another one that I"ve been struggling with since the 80's to pronounce correctly. I'll stick to my guns with what I"ve always said for Drow that being it rhymes with brow until we get the official word from Matt and Marisha :)
Just wondering why no drow character reference

InsidersFrom Wizards: it rhymes with "cow"
A dwarf with a canoe on his back? What could go wrong?
