"Fiochmhar"

I have an idea of how it might be pronounced, but I could be totally wrong!

The not very technical answer:
fee uch wur
with a gentle throaty sound on the ch. You don't have to be fíochmhar when you say it! I've separated the sounds but blend them when you say the word. Hope this helps. Good luck.
