+1 kay-toe - no emphasis on either syllable

 

Is it greek? I thought it was latin.

 

regardless, ch is a "k" sound, and ae is an "ay" sound.

 

Full name

 

kay-toe-MORE-fa - emphasis on the second to last syllable.

The word is derived from the Greek word chaeta meaning bristle, correct?

 

You would pronounce it "kee-tow-more-fa" then.

 

 

I concur.

yup everyone I know says Kay-toe also

everyone I know asks me if I have a redfish when I tell them I keep a sw tank. I'm starting to think I'm the only one in south Tx with a reef tank.

Kay-toe

 

I can't beleve some of you pronounced it Chee-To, that would be embarassing. It is sometimes hard to talk or ask about topics you have read about, so I completely understand. I often have trouble with foreign car names.

 

For example "Merkur" is pronounce Maer-koor
