How to pronounce“gavagai”in English

Does "gavagai" mean “rabbit”? Maybe it just means “fuzzy animal,” or “hopping” or just "Hey look!" Or even, as the linguistic philosopher W. V. Quine proposed, "Lo, an undetached rabbit-part!"

We have “Taylor,” “the rabbit,” and “Gavagai” on one side and “sees the rabbit,” “ate cake,” and “hopped” on the other.

This predicts that the sentences "Gavagai ate rabbit ate cake" and "the my cake" should be possible, and we know as English speakers that they're not!

And, Gavagai hopped. First we notice that we can split each sentence into two pieces, and we can mix and match the front half and the back half.

This structure predicts that "Taylor hopped" and "Taylor ate cake" and "Gavagai sees the rabbit" should be okay sentences, even though they're not on our original list.

The person points at the hopping rabbit and says ‘gavagai!’.

Or maybe this particular rabbit’s name is Gavagai.
