Seems pretty unanimous, thank god.
this also kindaI just say as it is spoken - Lich, with the ch sound. Like Leech, but with without the prolonged Liich sound, just Lich.
In polish it's Licz
Phonetically speaking there is a t in both Lich and cheese, which I think is what OP was getting at. I struggle to see another way to pronounce Litch in English than with the "cheese" consonant, whereas Lich can be more ambiguous, and "by default" tends not to be particularly reliable when you're dealing with words as esoteric as this. Plenty of words with a ch in spelling have a hard k sound: Christmas, chameleon, chrome, chimaera, etc.How do you get Lick or Litch out of it? There's no T in Lich and by default ch doesn't use the hard K sound. So I pronounce it with the li like the start of lips and the ch like the start of cheese.
