Almost like Quothe, as Micah says below — sevvack. It's in chapter 7 of the first book: "My name is Kvothe, pronounced nearly the same as 'Quothe. Kvothe the Raven: Nevermore. Add a comment.

Micah Micah But if the Kv is like in kvetch and the E is silent, it seems it should be pronounced to rhyme with quoth but start with the kvetch Kv, not with the quit Q sound.
I was actually always pronouncing Tarbean as Tar-Bane. I am enjoying the little word play and name challenges though. The only question that I have is how is Devi pronounced? I always read it as Dev-EE…. This is the right site for anybody who really wants to find out about this topic. You know a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you not that I really will need to…HaHa. You definitely put a fresh spin on a topic that has been discussed for a long time.
Great stuff, just wonderful! Kvothe had some hurdles to get over during his first term at the University. Master Hemme, holding a grudge against him, brought Kvothe up on charges of malfeasance and unauthorized use of sympathy a form of magic leading to injury, after an incident in class. Afterwards, his friend Simmon asked how the hearing had gone. In his second term at the University, Kvothe found himself searching for ways to make the necessary money to cover his expenses.
On top of that, he had indebted himself to pay for his tuition, and for the cost of a new lute. With a plan to find a patron for his musical ability, what comment did he make to his friend Simmon that is similar to a saying you yourself might use? He goes to a school for magic […].

They go for a six-hour walk, and the next day she vanishes again, leaving her bill unpaid at the Oaken Oar, where she had been using the name Dinnah. Manet accidentally reveals that there is a secret way to the Archives, but will reveal no more to his young apprentice. Kvothe rises to journeyman by making a bulls-eye sympathy lamp , which Master Kilvin admonishes as a "thieves lamp".
It was skillfully made, however, and Kvothe is allowed to keep it as long as he swears that it never falls into another's possession. Denna returns and meets Simmon and Wilem at the Eolian. They spend the evening in one another's company and make plans to meet the following day. The next morning, Kvothe saves Fela from a bone-tar fire in the Fishery and misses his appointment with Denna. He is so poor he cannot afford to replace the clothes damaged in the fire until some of his work at the Fishery sells, and then he can only buy some used boots.
He sees Fela at the Eolian and she gives him a fine new cloak in thanks for saving her from the fire, declaring herself indebted to him. He briefly spots Denna leaving, and worries that she will think he spurned her for Fela, but he does not pursue her. Two thugs armed with a "finder" — a sympathetic compass that uses a hair to point toward its owner — hunt Kvothe down in an alley in Imre and attempt to kill him.
He manages to use sympathy to blind and stun them long enough to escape, adding to his reputation, as they believe he called down fire and lightning on them.
Later, crawling into his room through the window, he finds a note Denna left for him wedged into the window frame several days prior. In it, she hints at having met someone interesting about whom she wishes to speak to Kvothe.
He takes steps to confound the "finder" in case someone else comes after him, and takes a room in an inn near the docks. The following day, he hears about a wedding near Trebon , where it seems the Chandrian appeared and killed everyone. He borrows more money from Devi, buys a horse, and rides sixty miles in half a day to reach the town. On the way, he comes across a tinker to whom he trades away the horse for a loden-stone and sundry other items.
At the local inn, he inquires about the wedding, hoping to glean information about the Chandrian, and discovers that there was one survivor, slightly injured, who turns out to be Denna. The two of them leave the inn and head towards the Mauthen Farm to see if Denna can find any of her things from before she was knocked unconscious.
She tells him about her eccentric potential patron , and Kvothe nicknames him Master Ash. They look around the farm, and Denna tells Kvothe that she saw blue flame during the chaos. What wood remains is rotted, and the iron pump-handle is rusted through —signs that the Chandrian were indeed involved.
Denna wants to go looking for Master Ash, so they head into the woods to explore. Eventually, they run across Skoivan Schiemmelpfenneg "Schiem" , a swineherd with whom they share dinner and a local legend around blue flame in the bluffs to the north. They head in that direction and camp at the top of a hill with a good view of the bluffs, littered with a handful of greystones. Kvothe theorizes that Mauthen dug up a Chandrian artifact of some kind when building his house, and that is what attracted them.
They see the blue flame to the north before bedding down for the night. A draccus wakes them in the middle of the night, as it comes to the hilltop lured by their fire.
It destroys the fire and eventually leaves in the early morning. Kvothe and Denna make it to where they saw a small plume of smoke rising, and find a small, curious encampment. The draccus appears, and they flee into a cave, where Kvothe realizes that it is a grove of denner trees being cultivated to make ophalum — but not before Denna chews a large amount of it, thinking it to be maple candy.
Kvothe tries to help treat her for the drug's effects but hasn't much to work with. They collect all the ophalum they can find, hoping to sell it back in Imre or the University. In the meantime, he realizes that the draccus is addicted to the resin of the Denner trees and has become dangerous.
They decide to try to overdose it with some of the resin. They ball up two-thirds of the resin they found and bait the draccus with a fire, then hide to wait for it to arrive. It does so, takes the bait, and starts to fall asleep. Then, fires from Trebon's harvest festival attract its attention and it races maniacally toward the town. Kvothe must leave Denna, who has passed out from the ophalum, to race after the draccus, following it into Trebon. With the last of the ophalum as bait, he manages to save part of the town from the fire with some sygaldry and sympathy, killing it with a massive iron wheel and knocking himself out in the process.
When Kvothe awakens, the townsfolk are in awe, unable to understand what happened. They tell him that they have "disposed of the demon" in the proper manner, and Kvothe plays on their bemusement to gather further information about the events of the wedding. Nina tells him that she saw the artifact the Mauthens dug up and that it was a vase or urn with drawings on it. When she describes what she remembered, Kvothe knows the drawings were of the Chandrian.
She is terrified, and Kvothe gives her an amulet that he claims he has charmed to protect her. He then leaves Trebon, unable to find Denna since the night of the draccus. Back at the University, Ambrose steals Kvothe's lute from its case. While toying with it to tease Kvothe, he carelessly breaks it. Enraged, Kvothe involuntarily calls the name of the wind and buffets Ambrose, breaking his arm. Kvothe then falls into a trancelike state. Elodin finds him and whispers something that begins to mend him psychologically.
Ambrose and Kvothe are brought before the horns the disciplinary council. Ambrose is found guilty of stealing and destroying Kvothe's lute and required to pay for its replacement. Kvothe is found guilty of malfeasance and sentenced to six lashes and expulsion, but his expulsion is immediately repealed at Elodin's behest.
Kvothe is then raised to Re'lar with Elodin as his sponsor, the second time his status is elevated after punishment. Kvothe's lashing proceeds in much the same way as his first, and he purchases a new lute and other small things with Ambrose's money. It's during this time that Auri begins to show Kvothe around the Underthing.
Auri eventually leads Kvothe to a passage that he discovers leads to the Archives, a system of tunnels that provide ventilation for the myriad books. During this term, Kvothe is poisoned with a plum bob, breaks into Ambrose's rooms, builds a Gram, creates his first original work in the Fishery and pines for Denna.
To help the University save face with an already apprehensive outside world, and to avoid astronomically high tuition , Kvothe takes his friends' advice that he skip the next term.
Fortuitously, Count Threpe finds that the Maer Alveron , a powerful noble in Vintas , seeks a discreet musician to help him with an unnamed task. Kvothe goes to Vintas readily and presents himself to the Maer Alveron, after troublesome travels.
The Maer puts Kvothe in private rooms in his estate to keep him close and judge his character. Kvothe meets Bredon , the only noble at court who seems to recognize the extreme pretension of the place. Bredon teaches Kvothe to play tak and instructs him on the finer points of Vintas etiquette. Finally meeting with the Maer, Kvothe finds him to be very ill and is tasked with fetching his medicine from the court arcanist, Caudicus. Unaware that Kvothe is from the University, the arcanist prepares the medicine in front of him, and Kvothe deduces that Caudicus is poisoning the Maer with lead.
Kvothe informs the Maer and helps him recover, but Caudicus escapes. Kvothe finds that Denna is in Severen with her patron, Master Ash.
They spend extended periods of time together for the first time. The Maer reveals to Kvothe why he asked for help: he needs a wife, and the only suitable one is Meluan Lackless , a beautiful noblewoman of a very old Vintish family. Drawing upon his time with Denna, Kvothe writes songs and letters to Meluan for the Maer, with much success. Denna presents a song she has been writing with Master Ash to Kvothe.
The song is very much like the one Arliden wrote about Lanre , but it shows him in a positive light, rather than as the unspeakable Haliax who leads the Chandrian. Because this was the subject of the song that likely got his family killed, Kvothe is uncharacteristically short and stern in his rebuke of Denna's song.
They fight and part ways in anger. The Maer sends for Kvothe and asks him to lead a small band of mercenaries to hunt a group of bandits who had been robbing tax collectors in the Eld , an old forest east of Vintas. Kvothe later suspects that the Maer's true reason for sending him away was to prevent him from getting too close to Meluan, now that the courtship was underway.
