I listen to several Destiny-based podcasts and I noticed that when people refer to the supercell, they call it the "Zaylo" or "Zahlo" Supercell.
As somebody who speaks Russian fluently, I'm going to help you all.
Say the word 'prestige'.
Now say it again but leave out the "presti".
All that's left is the 'zh' sound.
It's the sound in the middle of the word "vision". (Could be spelled vizhen.)
In the Cyrillic alphabet there is a letter which makes that sound.
Another explanation: while making the "sh" sound, vibrate your vocal cords like you're humming. That should produce the "zh" sound.
Also, in Russian, if the letter o is stressed, it makes the o sound. If not, it makes the 'ah' sound. In the word Zhalo, the a is stressed, thus the o is pronounced as an a.
"Zhah-la" supercell.
In Russian the word means 'sting'. Noun form, not verb.
Play on.
Edit: Removed awkward explanations... Trending?! Sweet! Thanks guys!
Edit: As English speakers I know we can't be expected to pronounce a Russian word as a Russian might. We would say the 'o' as 'oh'. But the zh sound is easy, (and if you prefer just z, that's cool too)
Mostly I thought it would be cool to know the meaning.
