How do you pronounce this?

With me being a deaf person and not being familiar with KOTOR, how do you pronounce Nilhilus?

Nil-hill-is?
Nye-hill-is?
Nee-hill-is?

Any help would be appreciated! :)

Oddly enough it's pronounced Smith.

War is actually right. Read it the same way you would nihilism.

I pronounce it nigh-a-lus with an almost silent "a" (if that makes sense?)

Nihilus is a play on annihilate. Remove the first "an" and change the "ate" to "uss" and you've got it.

I always thought it was a play on Nihilism (The belief that life is without meaning/worthless)
