Is it \"coyote\" or \"Keeotee\"?

My brother in law has 65 HP Kioti. He calls it a "coyote", but I had always pronounced it "keeotee".

I figure they put a coyote on their logo so I call it Coyote.
But I couldn't expect someone of Korean descent to have Kiotee in their dialect but rather Keeotee.
So the jury is out...

It's Coyote, like the critter.

At first I wasn't sure either and then saw their logo. Just like the animal.

Don, lemme see here, you drive around on a red FARMALL and the wrong shade of orange and you interloped into the forum to teach these boys how to pronounce their own brand name? And you followed John, a northlander who doesn't recognize the "E" on the end of the canine and drives a BLUE tractor? Heck, next thing you know, I might chip in on the CORRECT way to pronounce it /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif But then my vote would likely tip in favor of eliminating the long "E" on the end . . . you know the old rule about a silent E from grade school.

Now, if the guys that own this version of orange don't know how to pronounce it, er, ahhh, hmmm, never mind!! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
