Again, depending on language, [hwej(4) S@\N(1)] (Mandarin, tone
numbers in parentheses), or [hwej s@\n] (Hokkien), or [hwi s@\n] (my
dad's version of Hokkien :-P), or [hwi "SeN] (highschool Manglish).

Depends on the language. :-) Actually, I don't have my "own"
pronunciation... I just pronounce it the way other people do.

Now *that's* very interesting... 'cos that sounds almost exactly like
how the Korean equivalent of my name (which is spelled _Cho_) would be
pronounced [dZo:].

lol... this would have hilarious consequences in Tatari Faran, esp. if
it appears in a relative clause - the relative conveyant prefix is i-,
but _itsan_ itself happens to be an actual noun meaning "cinder cone".
