Yeah, but as an adjective, you'd *technically* have to pronounce it /vEstk8stskt/. So if "French bread" is: franskt bröd /franskt brYd/, then "(Swedish) West Coast bread" would be: västkustskt bröd /vEstk8stskt brYd/ As Andreas pointed out, since that would cause many a nice Swedish mouth to implode, it probably is usually realized as /vEstk8skt brYd/. God knows what happens in allegro speech. :) Kou
