"Quale", according to Wiktionary, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, and my 1993 Random House unabridged dictionary (which gives the pronunciations KWAH-lee, KWAH-lay, and KWAY-lee).
Edit for completeness:
For the plural, "qualia", the Random House gives the pronunciations KWAH-lee-uh and KWAY-lee-uh.
(The second edition OED pronunces "quale" as KWAY-lee but does not include "qualia" at all.)
Ah, I had been misinformed! I was informed it was the Latin neuter form, which uses "-um" for singular endings and "-a" for plural. Thanks for the correction!
