How is the algebraic topologist James R. Munkres' last name "Munkres" pronounced? Is it "Munkrees" or "Munkers" or something else entirely? There is some disagreement among my acquaintances.


Apologies for the non-mathematical question. But I think that knowing the correct pronunciation is important, given Munkres has written the influential textbooks *Topology* and *Analysis on Manifolds*.



How is Munkres pronounced?
Something like Munkrehs -- the e on the end is pronounced, but as an eh rather than ee I believe.
