I've been reading about endogenous retroviruses a bit and found them fascinating, not just as pretty much irrefutable evidence for evolution. Here is my question. As a non-native speaker, I'm not sure how to pronounce the term. Is it more like "endo-geneous retroviruses" (pronounced similar to endoplasmic reticulum) or "en-dodge-enous retroviruses" (pronounced similar to "indigenous" with slight modification)?

Thanks.
