    I use KAH-RAH, (the two syllables rhyme, and both have strong emphasis).

    I personally pronounce it Ka-Rhaa. The 2nd syllable is drawn out.

    I pronounce it "those (expletive) alien thingie buggers". Or, in the middle of combat, "aaaaarrrgh".

    KHAR-raw
    The H just makes the K a little softer.

    I prefer "Stupid Sulk/Gorge/Fade/Lerk" or "ONOS!"

    The devs pronounce it kuh-RAH (though I'm not sure that Jeff checked officially). Second syllable has the accent.

    "Watch Out!": v. xaða (you probably can't see the fonts. -_-)

    It is 'Kha-RAAA', and remember to roll your R - you are a Mongol. ^_^

    Roll your R and stretch out the last syllable .. "KHA-rrrrrrraaaaaaaaah." Pronounce it like the alien in Enemy Mine would. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I pronounce it with a *slight* accent, like KAR-TTA.
