    bi-HE-muth. (short “i”, long “E”) Sorry, I can’t do proper pronunciation symbols. That’s the closest I can get. Thanks to my Funk and Wagnalls and an oil tanker I used to know of that name.

    Thanks. That’s the way I’ve heard it pronounced recently. However, I used to remember it as BE-hemoth.

    It’s all terribly confusing.

    Buh-hee-muth.

    At least that’s how I pronounce it over here in the US.

    Forgot to mention the emphasis is on the middle syllable.

    Buh-HEE-muth.
