I've always understood the pronunciation of this name is Jah-KO-mo (the way this site has it). Last weekend, I met a retired gentleman who is well traveled. He insisted the name is pronounced JAHK-o-mo. I didn't want to argue with him because he is far more traveled than I. Still, I think his pronunciation is incorrect. Anyone know?

Thanks.
