You see, in Spanish all vowels have "dry" sounds, as opposite to English, where some vowels have a long (or compound) sound or a short (or dry) sound.
So, Agape should be prn. AH - gah-peh. Distress on first syllable. and that "peh" in the end, as in "pester", "pencil", "petal". Unless, of course, you are not searching for the proper Spanish pronunciation.
