I pronounced it 'kway" until someone on this board said it was "key" a year or so ago on this board.
Like quail=kwayl
or quaint=kwaint
or question=kwestion
or quality=kwal-i-tee
or quagmire or quandry or quiet or quiz or......you get the idea. All hard "kw"-sounds.
Qua is a Kw sound to most Americans.
So you can see why a lot of us pronounced it that way.
However if I visited Dublin and they told me it was "key" I would take them at their word, jamilia.
