A debate, I guess? I'm trying to remember all the context. But the gist is, the explanation is probably the original latin pronunciation and I went with a more American English way. The last paragraph of that person's link explains it well enough, I think
"The pronunciation you gave in the previous post [in reference to "Tare-us"] on the subject would be a good way to map the word to General American pronunciation. The other way I would anglicize it is as you recommended, except the "e" is pronounced like the 'ai' in "air" in General American English instead of the 'i' in "rip"."
