How do you pronounce "chimera"?

Is it kime-era, or shim-era?

I have heard it both ways, said many times; television, internet, etc...

So which is it?

    This is the way to pronounce it: [ki-meer-uh]

    So basically the first one (kime-era)

    ky-MEER-uh

    ky (rhymes with high, pie, sky)

    MEER (rhymes with beer, hear, cheer)

    uh (EITHER – like the "u" in cut, hut – OR – the "a" in above, about)

    chi-me-ra <- stress-wise

    kim-era <- pronunciation-wise
