It's Moogen. With a falling inflection on the end of the word almost as if the "n" was not audible but still slightly there.

mu = moo
gen = the G sound in "gay" Not the G sound in "general"

best way I can spell it phonetically is "moo ghen"

For a japanese translation versus has the best one. Hard M and a hard G. I would type it in japanese but this computer won't let me.

Lets congigate the basics.
