Do you want to know how the Japanese might pronounce it, or in English?

Because accents make different words.

 

[Ophiuchus]

Exactly as it looks: to rhyme with 'rocky'. I never considered that it could be pronounced any other way...

 

[Aetera]

Pock(rhyming with "clock") - e(like at the end of the word "tree")

 

[Reallink]

As above. Rhymes with Rocky.

Though inflection will change how it sounds, I.E In Japanese but pronouncing as an English word, or the reverse
