The word "Bokeh" comes from the two katakana characters "bo" and "ke" which mean "out-of-focus blur" Bo ke have been transliterated from "boke" to "bokeh" so that English speaking people will pronounce it correctly.
So bow keh is how I hear it.

I've never said it but when I think it in my head it sounds like
boh - keh
boh (as in boxer)
keh (as in kept)
'bow keh' sounds too much like 'blokey' for my british accent :P

Boh-keh sounds suspiciously like a famous wookiee... or a chicken. |
