Thumbs up pronunciation question: keris vs. kris

Hello to all,

This may seem a stupid question, but I've read conflicting information about this and it's bothering me. Is "keris" pronounced the same as "kris," so that both sound like "kris" with one syllable? I've read in some places that "keris" is pronounced with two syllables with the second syllable being stressed, so that it sounds like "keh-REES."

Curious minds would like to know how to speak about the keris in public without making a public fool of self!

Thank you.
