I'm not a native English speaker but I'd read Lycos as lee-cos, so neither of your options ;)

- gerdesj 7y agoQuite and I remember getting werewolf connotations from the name back in the day. Lycanthrope.
- elliottkember 7y agoThere’s a very good reason for that: lýkos (λύκος) is Greek for wolf. Lycanthrope would be lykos (wolf) + anthropos (person). Language is fun
- lonelappde 7y ago/lee/ is also a standard way to pronounce "lie" (as in Lie Algebra)
