The same that say /'du:u:j/ where I usually heard (in Eindhoven at least) /hau'du/? I remember one day I was in the bus I heard a young girl getting out of the bus and saying with a very high voice /du:u:j/ to her friends staying in it. Since then I always considered this pronunciation as typically girlish. I may be wrong though... Christophe.
