Yuppy! All the time. Practically every word... It's worse than English in that
regard (although completely and utterly regular in text-to-speech). Some of it
is probably regarded as more similar to English's `long' vowels (like <ee>=/i:/
and <o*e>=/8u/ (etc.), not vowels like /A:/ and /i:/), but there are a number
of oddities like the -ough and kn-.
