Dear Lynn,,
I must remind you that when the sequence is vowel-consonant-vowel, the first vowel is a long vowel. As in the word, "lace." Thus my vote is for Margery's pronunciation. lay'-sis
Based on what you just wrote I would be pronouncing it 'LARK-iss". There is no way it could be "lay" as there is no "magic e" following the "c" David in Ballarat, AUS
