I tend to agree with David that _muse_ would be with
[z].
Not sure, though, if I'm confused or totally wrong
about the "u" of _muse_. I think it would be /y/ --
is that the same sound as [ju]. All I can recall is
that if a value is given between brackets [] or slashs
//, then it may have a different corresponding sound.
Does [ju] equal /y/ ? Sorry for the elementary
questions, folks!
