I think TEHR-uh sounds right, but the Melos part I guess I say more like the beginnings of "melon" and finish it with "los", as opposed to the long A in May.

So you're essentially saying the same thing as Kai-us, methinks.

No, he's saying it like cyus (c as in cut)

sidewinder · 11-30-2010, 03:45 PM

Yes... c as in cut is a k sound. Followed by yus, sounds the same as Kai-us to me.
