How do you pronounce catenative?

Am hoping some grammar bods lurk around here. Slight dispute going on between a colleague and a student, I have been asked to referee, and am not sure of myself.
TIA

does this help ?

It does a bit, but I don't know that website and wanted some human confirmation, in case it wasn't entirely reliable.

Thanks.

I've never seen the word, but I'd guess CATT-en-att-ive because it makes me think of concatenate. Not sure if that's any help!

I would go with cat-n-ay-tive - again because it is like concatenate.

I would say CA-te-na-tiv

I think.

I'm reasonably sure the stress would fall on the CAT part, because the 'native' part is relatively unimportant, the 'te' is pronounced because I personally wouldn't say 'cat-na-tiv' and you do say con-CA-te-nate.

Interesting, vairry interesting .

Thanks for your input!

FWIW my instinct was CATT-en-et-ive (IYSWIM).

According to my dictionary it's CATenative.
