I'll do this starting NOW, if someone will just post a pronunciation guide! Please?

Best I can do is this: chal-chew-KLEE-kway

With some help from Forvo. The [t͡ɬ] sounds like KL to my Canadian ears and not TL (which doesn't happen at the start of syllable in English anyway).

Edit: apparently that's just rhe the deity... Not sure what to do with the last few letters. "eh-kattle"?

Yep, that's just the deity.

There's also pronunciation videos, FYI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pklyVXkYgk&t=35s
