It is pronounced to rhyme with sing 'em
A prounication of a word that imitates the sound associated with it is called onomatopoeia. It's a literary device where a word sounds like the noise it is describing, such as "buzz" or "meow."
The word oxygen is not normally pronounced with a long E. The common US prounciation reduces the Y to an "ih" sound (as in "sit") : (OKS-ih-gen)
The word "through" (thru) is probably unique in its prounciation of -ough. Other English words include various sounds for these letters based on their language of origin. Examples : "oh" (dough, thorough), "ow" (bough), "awf" (cough), as well as the familiar "uff" (tough).
The pronuciation varies with the individual, but the Hawaiian root "wiki" is definitely pronounced "wicky". Combining that with the -pedia (as in encyclopedia), you would have "wih-kee-PEE-dee-uh". However, the most common prounciation uses two short (schwa) sounds, as "wih-kuh-PEE-dee-uh", demonstrating the loss of a long E sound in an unstressed syllable.
