Reading

どろみず
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

This is a jukugo word that uses the kun'yomi readings of the kanji. You should be able to read this on your own.

There's another way to read this word that uses both on'yomi readings (でいすい). It's mostly used in more formal or technical situations though, so we're focusing on the どろみず reading here!
