    Hmm... maybe it's actually pronounced "Chumley."

    :) Good question - I pronounce it the Spanish way (i.e. say it however it looks)- Cut-hool-hoo

    As long as we're reading from the necronomicon...

    Klatu, Beratu... ummm...

    ...definitely an "N" word...

    Hmmm...

    How DO I pronounce it?

    I have to say out loud a few times to get it down. (Man, it's dark outside.)

    Ah. Got it. Hey, thunder.

    Anyway, I say Cth

    Hmm, I always thought it was "Kloo'thoo" with emphasis on the first syllable.

    I've always pronounced it with a soft C sound... Suh-THOO-loo. Apparently I'm distinctly in the minority on that one. :)
