Well...
First there is no really accent in japanese, and given that the slightly
prolonged 'Kho' means light.. and that 'Zuiko' kind of means: a light that
signifies something important or 'auspicious light' as Wikipedia points
out.. (although it's also a kind of pun because the 'Zui' and 'Ko'
characters came from the long title of the initial optical company in
Mizuho, where Mizu is also pronounced Zui etc)..
so...its Zoo-e-kho
