I believe so yea

According to Wikipedia, it's pronounced ˈli:θi
-Emphasis on first syllable
-L as in 'lie'
-long E as in 'seed'
-TH as in 'thigh'
-Y as in 'happy'

in other words, think of the word 'leafy' but a 'th' in place of the 'f' and you've got it

The origin of the word is Greek, if you were wondering.

Well, I also looked it up and found this ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR5IU2lPHtE ) which goes along with what you said.

However, I posted here because I was wondering if the developers had intended another way to pronounce it. I'll just follow the proper pronunciation unless they say otherwise.

Thanks
