Some of the pronounciations by the SA's are anglicized too. Don't worry - the effort is important. By the way, cles sounds like 'clay'.

hhmmm... this is one of those words that is spelt the same in French and English, so...

if pronouncing in French, then it is \'gra-,fee-,t\
if pronouncing in English, then it is \ˈgra-ˌfīt\
