hallo, our dog, an azawak, is called WAITIMU. we know it's kikuyu and ask for help how we have to say the name. if you know it, please help us, we know the meaning "geboren vom speer", but don't know how to say it correctly. we speek german, italian, french. THANKS FOR HELPING US

Simple:

'wa' as in work

'i' as the 'ea' sound in eat

'ti' as in tea

'mu' as in smooth.

wa-i-ti-mu

Waitimu (Y-TEAM-OH)

Or just call it Waitish and always remember to explain to the dog that you don't mean Waitina.

Or better still hook it up with a German Shephard, it will pick up german real quick. Then you can re-baptise it in the name of the Third Reich and call it Herr Geboren Vom Speer.

thank you a lot wamax! we did knew the meaning but not how to say it. very helpfully!
