Simple pronunciation question

[Mano]

Commutative groups are said to be abelian. Is this pronounced uh-beel-yun or a-bell-lee-yun or some other way. Always bugged me that I wasn't sure how to pronounce this, but never asked because I didn't want to look stupid.

[etgryphon]

It is pronounced:

a-bE-lE-an
