[Facts] Kynthos
I know this is a "mountain" name but I was wondering is it simply Kin-thos or is it pronounced differently.

It is KINthos, the name of a mountain in the island of Delos where Apollo and Artemis were birn. The name Cynthia ("from Kynthos") is related. Kynthos itself is most probably derived from "kynthano" meaning "to hide, to cover up".
