I do. I've heard Na say it 50 times... Its supposedly kew-ew-lawn-eee with some accentive sharp ellipses that I cant properly represent in typeface.
 
Wow, I have been pronouncing it wrong too, sorry. Never actually said it out apart from to Scanty-ho though. :)

So the correct pronunciation is "ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLWISRRRRRRRR"? :D

Now, I will just combine them! :)
