na-ru-ah-hoe-e
r-roll it slightly
e at the end- how you say it when you say the alphabet.
does that make sense? :D

I think it's ng-oh-roo-hoy
Ng is pronounced like the sound at the end of swing (a velar nasal, no 'g' sound)
au - is pronounced 'oh', although hardly anyone does, most people say 'ow'
the r is like a quick 'd' sound
oe - is like 'oy'
So 3 syllables - ngoh-roo-hoy
