As far as I know, it's as written - KA-ris :-)

how are the vowels pronounced?

Ah, now that's the tricky bit! It depends on your accent. In my Australian accent, it'd be "KA" as in "cat", and "ris" as in "miss". However it would vary from accent to accent.

Does that help? :-)

Yes that helps, thanks. I have a mid-west American "accent," so I don't know how it would be different.

I don't know what a mid-west American accent sounds like either, so I can't help there! But the "cat" and "miss" sounds are probably close enough :-)
