Default Re: How is "R'lyeh" pronounced?

i generally hear Rx - lee-eh

Where
:x is a random vowel or semi-vowel sound
:lee-eh is dipthonged, not two separate syllables.

I tend to prefer the really short e sound that usually gets written as an upside-down e in pronunciation guides. I forget what its called.

One could of course assume the ' is a click as per Bushman languages, but that sounds kind of messy.
