How is "khukuri" pronounced?

[Ad]

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I've seen a few different spellings. Is it KOOK-ree; KOO-kree; KOO-kuh-ree; koo-KER-ee; or something else. Thanks.

I think Uncle would say that there are as many spellings and pronounciations of Khukri as there are leaves on a tree.

Koo-koo-ree
Kur-ree
Kuk-ri

They all work for me

That's one way to say it, Chris.
