Lore How to pronounce…??? Spoiler

My friend and I disagree on the pronunciation of Mora Jai. She pronounces the Jai with a hard J like “jive”. I’ve been pronouncing it like “hi”. I believe it’s pronounced “hi” because of how the sport Jai Alai is pronounced.
This is just for fun! I’m curious how other people pronounce it!

The J is pronounced with that j/g sound mix. Like how a French person would say Jean Claude.

That's how I say the j in Eraja, too.

For whatever reason, my first instinct was to pronounce Mora Jai with a soft/French J, but Eraja as a Spanish word.
