    How do you pronounce the Mego like compnay names?

    Ok, we know abouut Cipsa and Ahi , but when you're SAYING them out loud, how do you pronounce them? For me:

    Cipsa= SEEP-SA
    Ahi= AH-HE
    Zica=ZEE-KAH

    What about you?

    Sorry for the double post, I was correcting my spelling on the title. Mods, please delete this one.
    Thanks.

          AHI isn't a name it's short for Azrak Hamway International.
          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                And I don't care how incorrect it may be,... we all grew up around here pronouncing it 'May-Goh'.


                It's more fun that way.

                  As a kid, I pronounced it Meg-Oh. Didn't realized until I read in a magazine as an adult that it was Mee-Goh... as in "Me Go".

                        The "I" in ZICA has the long vowel sound so it's pronounced ZIE-KA.

                          I always pronounced it "Me-Go" growing up. Never thought of pronouncing it any other way. Then, in my late 20s, I heard it pronounced "Meg-O" by another collector. For the first time in my life, I wasn't sure if I had been saying it right.

                              I always pronounce Cipsa as siss-pa

                              I know it's wrong, but it's how my mildly dyslexic brain first read it and it stuck.
