> barely pronounceable

Pronounceable correctly, maybe. ("Quantal" is easy, but the first time I read it I pronounced "quetzal" like "pretzel" with a 'qw' instead of 'pr' and I will likely continue to do so even though it's technically wrong.)



I thinks it's pronounced as 'kwantal'. I think it's easy enough to read, maybe it depends on your mother tongue (or 2, 3 or 4th).
