@Felthry Wikipedia claims you don't reduce the second syllable, which jives with how I guessed it was pronounced.

@KamareDrache yeah that was my guess too but i realized it *might* just be pronounced like satan and that's ripe for puns

it's from Japanese, iwrc, and you don't get reduced vowels in japanese in the same way you do in english
