  13. >Anyway, here are the characters whose pronunciation may be ambiguous:
  14.  
  15. >Ryu         /roo/ or /RYE-you/ or /ree-YOU/

  18. this, and that's "Roo".  However, the "oo" sound is quite short and you

  20. sound.

  28. I'm told by a martial arts dude that there is a kick-boxing style called
  29. "Sagat", pronounced SaGAT.
