Coatl is easy for me to remember because of the Queztalcoatl bird edit: mythical god

...but I have been both pronouncing AND spelling amphithere as amphitheatre ever since childhood so I need to process this

Quetzalcoatl -> Keht-zal-co-at-l So it's correct. edit: also turns out the bird is just called "Quetzal". The mythical god is Quetzalcoatl, but my brain keeps mushing them together. The pronunciation is still correct tho. edit 2: double-quoted oops

@DoubleO
Okay good. One question remains, though...

Is it amphi-there or amphi-theere?

I learned to pronounce Coatl “co-ah-tul” when I was young, and as for Amphithere, I always assumed it was something like “am-phi-teer”? I don’t know why, I just always assumed the H was silent.

I’ve also commonly seen amphithere written as amphiptere so that is confusing-

I've always said "Am-pe-tier" or "Amp-ir-tier" bc its easiest for me that way. Amphithere too difficult. Keep it simple; [item=Ultramel Amphithere] That's a friend.

To be fair? An Amphitheater is an actual thing, it's just not a dragon. It's actually another name for a colosseum!
