      Yeah it gets ruined because we actually read the accent aigu and that removes the double meaning completely. I had to think like a non-speaker to get it, it was quick but I had to go back and think about it.

    I had a student some thirty years ago whose name was Oh Yu Suk.

    It was difficult for me to maintain when I first saw it.
