Pronounced roughly /a"TinE/ in modern Greek, though the more commonly
spoken form is Athina /a"Tina/ (fem.sg. rather than fem.pl.). (Not
sure of the quality of the /a/, i.e. [a] or [A] or ....)

Natively something along the lines of [lEf.ko."si.a] IIRC. Though the
Shaq. version looks similar to the Turkish name of the city, which is
Lefkoşa -- presumably something along the vague lines of [lEf."ko.Sa].
Cheers,
