How do you pronounce psilocybin?

Is it Sil-o-sie-bin (stressing sil) or sil-lah-seh-bin (stressing lah). I think I have heard both ways.
And how do you pronounce pranayama?

Psilocybin = Sill-oh-sigh-bin
Psilocybe = Sigh-loss-oh-bee
Not sure about "cyanescens", I pronounce it differently than some of my friends. I say cyanescens = Sigh-an-ess-ens my friends says it = Sigh-uh-niece-ens

I normally say
Sill - oh - sigh - bin Cube - en - sis Cyan - es - sins
But a professional mushroom grower (works on a mushroom farm for a living) recently told me:
Cube - en - sees Cyan - es - scenes Azure - es - scenes
Small difference. Ch - aunt - trelles, not Ch - ant - trelles, sclero - "sha" not sclerot - ee - ah, etc.
Now the tough one: semilanceata?
Sea - mil - an - sea - ate - ah ?
-------------------- You're not like the others. You like the same things I do. Wax paper, boiled football leather... dog breath. We're not hitch-hiking anymore, we're riding!

woohoo! I knew I was in the right with this one!
...of course...
the only reason I pronounce it that way in the first place is because that's how I heard Terence Mckenna pronounce it in one of his lectures I had heard when I first started getting into all of this...so I *suppose* I can't really chalk this one up to my own innate sophistication here (or anything like that) I'm just somone who managed to hear the term pronounced correctly before I ever heard anyone IRL mangle it
I would imagine that had I stumbled across someone selling these things on the streets before I tried growing em myself - I would likely have clung to the more common 'slurred' version of the term, then rather the official 'according to hoyal' version in the dictionary

but if photo-graphy was what you were 'taught' when you first heard the term, and that's all you ever heard it pronounced as...then foe-tog-graphy would sound all fucken akward to you
it's all just a matter of what you intially concrete it in your mind as what it's supposed to sound like...that's all :shrugs:
