Not only that, but the apostatate koy-nay pronunciation as well. The correct pronunciation is kee-ne. And the correct pronunciation, unless I miss your emphasis on the last syllable, is not low-gos, but low-gose, as in ghost.

It's actually how native Greeks pronounce it, and how native Greeks have been pronouncing it for more than two thousand years.
