I heard someone on the news say a yote's full common name that Californian way the other night. Its like fingernails on a chalk board (actually fingernails on a chalkboard don't bother me much) irritating to me. So I wondered how common placing the "EE" and accenting an end syllable is across Anglo-America and did some searching. I came across this article, probably the first time a "Grammar Girl" post has been on trapperman. Anyway, she has me and my region pegged. How about you...? https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/how-to-pronounce-coyote

Kind of funny: For me it has always been "Ki-yote", silent "E"; but all of us locals always call the creek that runs near our farm "Ki-yot-ee" creek.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Ki-Yoat.
But if I’m talking about the NHL hockey team it’s Arizona Ki-Yoat-eees.
