    Not a native speaker so I might not get the pronunciation 100% but… is the gnome an animal?

      I’m not quite sure what you’re meaning, but I don’t know of any animal gnomes. The three gnomes I can think of are:

      • Gnome, a mythical creature from renaissance alchemy

      • garden gnome, a sort a garden ornament

      • GNOME, a unix desktop environment

        There’s also D&D gnomes which are similar to the alchemy gnomes, but they lean into steampunk/ primitive industry way harder.

      There’s an animal called a gnu, pronounced “noo”.

        The Muppets disagree.

          I’m not gonna say it’s wrong to call the animal a guh-noo, since there is a G there after all, but pretty much every source lists “noo” and “nyoo” as the two pronunciations.
