So here's an important question to the "qoto" powers that be. Is it pronounced "kwoto" or "koto"? (I presume that the vowels are long)

I've been assuming it is "kwoto" but without the typical "u" after the "q", I don't know if the "w" sound is appropriate.

Thanks for the input -- though no more conclusive an answer than I had before. At least I know it is acceptable to refer to it (when doing so verbally --not on the internet) however my heart desires at the moment.

@kent_j No clue but I've always thought 'koto'. Dunno what @freemo thinks. ;)

@kent_j As a native german speaker, i would prefer not to say "koto". "Kot" means feces in german.
Kwoto, or not pronounce it as freemo says. Either is fine with me.
