How to pronounce Krico?

There’s a knowledgeable gentleman on Youtube by the name of USOG — genuinely enthusiastic, you can tell he’s right into his guns.
A while back he did a great review of his Krico’s, which until then I had never heard of. I went back to it just now, and yes, he says “Kreekoh”.
But you can’t always rely on Youtubers since they’re as fallible as anyone else.
Hickok45 for example reviewed a Sako 85 and kept mispronouncing it as “Sayco” (it’s “Sah-ko”). In his defense though, a lot of people say it that way — like the watch, “Seiko”.
For Leupold, I say “Loop-hold” or “Loop-holed”.
Brno is “Burno”, like the city in the Czech Republic where the original plant was.

Re: USOG, I've watch a few of his vids, mostly on the nontraditional firearms.
Another fine German company, people trying to say Voere pronounced Fur-ra. I've heard Vow-er, Voo-ray and more.
Or Anschutz, that's another fun one.

I was told by a German fellow that it's "Man-leeker" not "Man-licker". Not gonna argue with the guy. "Porsh-ah", not "Porsh". Lou-pold, Saw-co, Kree-co.
