In the Star Spawn language his name actually translates into "The One with really bad gas"

A friend of mine used to pronounce it SEE-THOO-LOO. Not sure why he chose to pronounce the 'C' on its own, but as everyone's pointed out, there are many different versions. I personally say K'-THOO-LOO.

seethulhu? that's even kookier than chithulhu.

i'm pretty sure hpl said (in a letter or somewhere) that it could be spelled like cluh-loo, more like a throat sound than a normal word. think somewhere between cluh and k'thoo, that's probably as accurate as you can get.

i think everyone can agree the second syllable resembles 'loo' though.

it his books he said its not really said in a way we could comprehend, but it was said more like a howling of the wind or the sound of insects. it was said like a sound not a word....

the sound of insects is mentioned regarding al azif aka the necronomicon

My favorite pronunciation is in "Medusa's Coil" (an otherwise unremarkable ghost write of Lovecraft) in which the African-American voodoo-woman calls him,
"Marse Clooloo" in a Southern accent.
But I personaly say Koth-ulu.

I pronounce it KUH-THOO-LOO. I tried to pronounce it the way Lovecraft described it, but it gave me some trouble.
