BTW, it's an Aztec (Nahuatl) word, ko-yo-t'l. Another nifty Nahatl-to-English loan word is pay-yot'l, which we call pay-yo-te (peyote). Nobody ever says pay-yote, that I'm aware of.

Whether you say it kai-yo-tee or kai-yote just depends on where you were brought up (kai-yo-tee), or where you was brung up (kai-yote).

Not everybody west of the Pecos says kai-yote, either.
