How do you pronounce the god “Dian Cécht” name?

I heard on youtube dee-an cecht (like catched), but then in another video like jean (as in the pants) cecht (like german achtung).

For Dian, it should be like /ʤʲiːan/The second half should be pronounced like the Scottish Loch or the German Bach. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dian#Pronunciation... Show More
[dʲiːən kʲeːxt] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dian_CechtSomething like djee-un kyecht (with the guttural "ch" as in "Achtung!"). The "d" is slender, so it's not pronounced like a "d" in English.This also confirms the above pronunciation: http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/cml/cml32.htm... Show More
