The hook letters in Polish, like the A in Sącz, you can generally think of it being spelled like Sancz. The hook has an implied n, like Ślężanie being Ślenżanie. The slashed L in Płock is also a dual pronunciation. Historically those of the Upper Class would pronounce it like a normal L, Plock, whereas the Lower Class would pronounce it like the English and Welsh W (Pwock). As well, W in Polish is the hard v sound akin to Germanic languages (not including Anglo who never lost the Proto-Germanic W sound, remained as letter wynn Ƿ, ƿ), so the name Sulisław would be said like Sulisłav (Sulislav or Suliswav). The letter J is also a Y sound in Polish, same with North Germanic languages. In some cases I've seen as well, C is said like an English S sound, though I'm not sure if it is always the case. Płock is an example that sounds like Pwotsk.

Hi Ottawa- here's a great disinherit alternative that doesnt cost any renown. Imprison your unwanted sons, move to dungeon. They will take a health penalty and eventually die, all it will cost you is some tyranny that go away over time. It will not give you kinslayer either (lol).Keep your renown for legacies!

[@OttawaWelshman]

Hehehe yeee theres a few ways to do it! ;)

[@deanmalto1386]

I think renown are less of a valuable commodities now that we have royal court. All in all it's should take couple of years to build up the same amount of renown. That being said, only do this when you're old and about to die

[@angledbracketsarentallowed4790]

I find that disinherited children are worth the renown anyway because they make great vassals and I am usually running some kind of genetics program and it sucks to lose quality stock. Another tip to that end is that I find that once you're strong enough that you can still grow fast without needing to make alliance plays, having many daughters matrilineally married to highly fertile dudes in your court you can make heaps of very good vassal candidates that are part of your dynasty and also don't risk growing too powerful through inheriting lands from parents etc.
