Re: How to pronounce "Mecanum"

From good ol' Wikipedia:

Quote:

The Mecanum wheel is one design for a wheel which can move in any direction. It is sometimes called the Ilon wheel after its Swedish inventor, Bengt Ilon, who came up with the idea in 1973 when he was an engineer with the Swedish company Mecanum AB.

Get a Swedish person's advice on the pronunciation. Anybody know a Swede?
