Dammit

So if speaking German I'd say Kay-nipecks? (I do not know how to interpret the phonetic alphabet).

No, K'nipeks; the vowel between K and N is a schwa

While we're on the subject, why do Brits pronounce Ksyrium "Kassyrium"?

If that's a German name, there's no vowel between the K and the n. It's like the -(c)kn- in 'Hackney' or 'Cockney', only at the start of the word.
