My daughter is in Crete at the mo', she is somewhat fluent, so I asked her.
Amongst the peasantry it is said as "Tea she" but in what might be
called high Greek it is Tie che where the ch is as in that Scottish body
of water - Loch, or as in Van Goch (when not the American removal firm -
Van Go) a sort of rasping H from the throat.

Oh tell me about it,my surname Waugh, pronounced in Scotland as in Scots Loch, not Wao, War, Woff or even weirder.

Over the years I have concluded it can only be pronounced correctly by those blessed with some Celtish genes
