However, the "Euro-" morpheme in Esperanto is "eŭro-", i.e. with "eŭ"
rather than "eu".
"Eŭ" is (regularly) pronounced /ew/, so I'd imagine "Euroclone" might
be "eŭroklono" /ewro"klono/.
(NB using /phonemic/ rather than [phonetic] transcriptions since I'm
not entirely certain of the "default" or preferred realisations of /e/
and /o/ in Esperanto, e.g. whether they are [e] or [E], or [o] or [O],
respectively.)
