# Khlul'hloo according to HPL himself.
The actual sound --- as nearly as human organs could imitate it or human letters record it --- may be taken as something like Khlul'hloo, with the first syllable pronounced gutterally and very thickly. The u is about like that in full; and the first syllable is not unlike klul in sound, since the h represents the gutteral thickness. The second syllable is not very well rendered --- the l being unrepresented. (Selected Letters V, pp. 10-11.)

Stick the tip of your tongue on the roof of your month and cough it out rather than attempt to speak it. (I've been learning Scottish Gaelic and I've a suspicion that the Cthulhu is a Gaelic world.)
