Well, not with a velar stop+rounded back vowel+velar stop
word ;))) . "kok" /kOk/ means "chef" ("cook") or is the last name of the former
Prime Minister, Wim Kok. "To cook" is "koken" /"kok@/. As for the name of the
little friend, there are quite a few, but I think the most common is [lYl] (or
[l2l], I've heard both pronunciations) written "lul" :)) . And of
course, "lullen" means "to speak nonsense" (to give one of Dutch's most
straightforward derivations ;)))) ).
