My advice is that you leave this word alone. Only really pretentious people can spell it or pronounce it (or would want to). People who really need to go out and find a girlfriend. If you must learn how to pronounce it, try this... What an Abyssinian cat does to an expensive rug when he sees his Italian owner watching Anthony Quinn get hanged in 'Lion of the Desert.' I only included it here to let you know it is out there. Concealed in the shrubbery... watching, waiting.
