Anyone know how you would pronounce the Forgotten Realms wizard-king

Its fantasy gibberish, pronounce it however you like or corner Ed Greenwood at a Con. If a player complains, blame it on linguistic drift.

Alo as in "aloe" (vera)
kka as
ッカ
vodka with a bit more emphasis/length on the k
ir as something close to ear
All said with some kind of faux middle eastern inflection.

If you want to go full Tolkien, pronounce it that way for modern characters and have the ancient liches and the like pronounce each k separately.
Aloek-kar.
