All I know is that I spent 25 years saying Zwee-ko and then was told on this
list I had to say Zoo-we-ko.

I like Zwee-ko better.

Surely we have someone fluent in Japanese that can phonetically spell it out
properly.

Tom

I think the answer is:  None of them.  The closest English explanation IMO
is Naïve, with a diaresis over the I, indicating a seperate syllable.  That
is, I would spell it, Zuïko.
