MemberI realize my name can be rather difficult to pronounce, so I will give it to you phonetically and after much practice you may get it correctly: “SIR”
All the accent is on the first syllable and added emphasis can be achieved by holding the last syllable slightly longer. I hope that clears up any misconceptions.
