Agreed with the first two! But, I’ve also heard uh-LEX-ay. “Ay” as in “acorn.”

It’s u-lyi-KSYAY in Russian. [name_u]Or[/name_u] /ɐ.lʲɪ.ˈksʲej/, if you’re inclined towards the International Phonetic Alphabet.

[name_f]My[/name_f] assumption was “al-uhk-SAY” with the emphasis on the last syllable. :slightly_smiling_face:
