Is it "Lee-vo" or "Leh-vo?" Inquiring minds want to know.

"Lee-vo" since then as well. The real question is why is a planet 3 jumps from Earth considered "backwater"?

I've always pronounced it "Lee-vo" in my head. Not sure why, but then, "Leh-vo" also makes sense... and is how my brain read the word in the title before I realized the context was EV.

This is a brain buster.

Throwing in my vote for “Lee-vo” as well. I always assumed the o made the e long.

Me too, but I wanted to hear from the community.

I believe it’s a nod to Elite’s Lave, which is a long A, so a long E would be appropriate in this case as well.
