However, the panther is not pronounced that way. Guenhwyvar, Drizzt's panther, is an old spelling of "Guinevere", King Arthur's wife (you can hear that here). Gygax is pronounced "guy-gaks" (see below for more info on that). It's a current spelling, not an old-timey spelling. Gaol is the British spelling of "jail" and is pronounced the same way.
