I've heard Lor-uh-LEE and Lor-ah-LAY and Lor-uh-LIE.
No one seems to be able to agree on that last syllable.

Hello,

The original German pronunciation is loh-reh-LIE, without any diphtong to be heard in the first two syllables, for English speaking people it's just the first half of their vowels!

Regards,
Satu
