Pronouncing Kìyevame / infixes

[Hawnuyu]

I noticed the breakdown of the word involved the infixes k<ìy><ev>ame
My problem is should I pronounce the k<ìy> part of the word as two separate syllables? ( And moreso in general when dealing with infixes should they be pronounced distinctly as separate syllables or if there can be any lenition for fluidity of the sound ? )
Please help or point to sound clips

Normally I pronounce Kiyevame as Ki-ye-va-me, so it should sound something like (key-yay-va-may)

Hope this helps

kìyevame - this is a tough one, and a lot of people mess it up. the ìy isn't a dipthong, so treat the y as a consonant.

kì - as in kid
je - as in yen, japanese currency
va - as in pot
me - as in meh.

More on that should be around. Not sure where. I know there's information here, but it's pretty complex and not fun.

Excellent! I have been pronouncing it the way as described ( to the confusion of all my non Na'Vi friends ). This definately boosts my confidence in the language.

Irayo for the quick response

Also the stress should go on the VA.  kì-ye-VA-me.  The reason being kame is stressed on the first syllable (KAme) and the stress should follow the syllable which it starts in, counting each syllable as the vowel that defines it.  So the stress follows the A syllable as the infixes are added, even though the A is now paired with a V and not a K.
