    Had to look it up. Here is a copy/paste———

    Lovecraft transcribed the pronunciation of Cthulhu as “Kthûl’hu”.2 S. T. Joshi points out, however, that Lovecraft gave several differing pronunciations on different occasions.3 According to Lovecraft, this is merely the closest that the human vocal apparatus can come to reproducing the syllables of an alien language.4 Long after Lovecraft’s death, the spelling pronunciation /kəˈθuːluː/ kə-THOO-loo became common, and the role-playing game Call of Cthulhu endorsed it.
