How do you pronounce 'Gawain'?

Classic from “Freaky Fables” by Handelsman (used to run in the British humor magazine Punch):

UTHER: Come out of there, Vortigern!

VORTIGERN: Shan’t! Who’s out there, anyway?

UTHER: Your worst enemy, King Uther!

VORTIGERN: How do you spell that?

UTHER: Who knows? W-Y-D-D-R, I shouldn’t wonder!
