How is SimpleX Chat officially pronounced? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Is there an official statement on how SimpleX is pronounced?

Is it "simple ecks"? Is it just the English word, "simplex"? Is it something else?

If there is no official statement, how do the developers say it?

Thanks. That audio is the closest I've heard to a definitive source so far. Unfortunately, it's still unclear.

If I'm expecting to hear a pause between "simpl" and "ex" when he says it, I can perceive a very slight one. But when I listen again expecting to hear the syllables "sim" and "plex", I perceive that version just as clearly; maybe even more clearly.

His accent makes it difficult to work out his intent. (Note also the way he pronounces "adversary": not at all how it's pronounced in English, though not confusing in this case because there is no other word he could mean.)
