Try Maur-uh nee Koh-huss-ee with the o short (as in short) and stresses on the maur and koh syllables.

The purists will quite rightly object and complicate things with dialect - but the above will not be bad enough to have you thrown out of pubs.

Regards
p.s the last syllable is also often pronounced ig as in big.
