Pulled out my Gordon's Introduction to Old Norse. Best I can reconstruct it is [ˈlɛivz̠ ˈɛiˌriːksˌson], so rhymes with save, but with that good old Norse -r that's kind of pronounced like a retracted z.

My understanding is that the pronunciation at the time would have been, approximately, "Dong Key-Shot-tay." [doŋ kiˈʃote] The x moved from a sh-sound to a ch-sound fairly recently.

To add to the previous, and correct, answers, the T'au were, from their introduction, an uncharacteristically hopeful and high-sci-fi faction that really stood out against the various shades of over the top morally at-best grey factions. In response, later writers have made them more grey too.
