  1. Zen-uh-pus
    Have no idea the proper pronunciation, that's just how I first heard it and said it ever since.

  2. Fred. Zenopus is just a B.S. cypher to throw people off his trail.

  6. I'm sure its pronounced Zeenuhpuss, like the name of the frogs Holmes would have his class dissect.

  7. I've always pronounced it:
    /Buddhist state of mind/letter "O"/stuff that oozes from infected wounds/

  9. I wonder how much of the variance is regional...

  10. In practice, zen-uh-pus, as others above. If I say it slowly I may pronunce the 'uh' as 'oh'.

  12. Without the 3 M's and the silent Q, I pronounce it "Zen Oh Pus".

    With the 3 M's & the silent Q, I pronounce it "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn."
