Wow, do you pronounce it "ta-tee-ba"?

What if we read "amoeba" as a Latin word?

The sentence seems to rhyme in Russian. If the English sentence is a translation of the Russian sentence, then it calls for an adaptation e.g.
In Russian "Amoeba" and "Tatoeba" rhyme with one another.

Indeed, but the problem is that in Russian "амоэба" means a little bit less than nothing. This word simply doesn't exist.

I had no idea of its pronunciation, sorry. I guess I will stick to CK's suggestions.

@ sharptoothed
Google Translate gave "амеба" as a translation of the English "amoeba". Does it sound the same as "Татоэба"? I don't know Russian.

Unfortunately, the pronunciation of Russian "амёба" (IPA [ɐˈmʲɵbə]) differs from "Татоэба" (IPA [tɐ'toɛbə]) radically.

Unlinking the Russian since it doesn't match anymore.
