Quick Pronunciation Guide: "ay" is as in "cake," "ah" as in "cart," "a" as in "cat," "uh" as in "bug," "oo" as in "crew," "kh" as in the German "ch," (that is, pronounced slightly softer, with a slight "h" sound following the "k") "rh" is similar to the above only with the softness of the vowel landing on the "r," "ih" as in "bill," "ee" as in "flee," "ow" as in "bow," "eh" as in "red," "igh" as in "rise," "ks" as in the "x" in "ax," "gh" as in the "g" in "great," and "oh" as in "low." Also, capitalized syllables are accented.
