Most of us Anglos follow that nice Mr Shakespeare, and he makes it easy for us by using metrical verse. So, when he spells it with an -e on the end, it's Heh ca tee, and when he doesn't, as I say for metrical purposes, it's Heh cat.

The one thing it isn't is heh cate where the cate rhymes with gate. In English conventions the final e lengthens the preceding vowel, but not in Greek, where it gets pronounced. Which is why Chloe rhymes with Joey, not with Joe ...
