Isn't the Pokemon's name pronounced like coma + koala? Coma and comma are different.

🤷I've been pronouncing it as Ko-Ma-La without the emphasise of ow. I appreciate this post though, i've seen so many asian name being butchered by english speaking country it become annoying.

Ko-Ma-La without the emphasise of ow.

I'm not sure I follow. Coma would probably be "ko-ma", like I'd suggested, whereas comma is something like "cah-ma"...but I'm not sure where the "ow" comes in
