Thor's hammer was called Miolnir. As with many words & names of medieval Norse, to pronounce it correctly one must "forget" how the letters sound in English. "Miolnir", rather than being pronounced "Me-ol-neer" would be pronounced "M-yu-nr". The M is partially silent, the L is completely silent and the R is pronounced by rrrrrolling the toungue. The name is said with a flat inflection when spoken as part of a statement. When it is the operating word at the end of a question the inflection should increase over the N, and if said as part of an exclamation ("By Miolnir, that was close", etc) the stress should be placed over the Y.
