well, in my english accent they come out as
[pr\@'kQfiEf], [SQst@'kVUvItS] and ['b&ItVUvn=], but
if i attempt the russian and german accents i get
[prV'kO:fj@f] [S@stV'kO:vitS] and ['be:_+t_ho:_+v@n],
which, apart from the misplaced accent, isn't too far
from [bi:t'huv@n]

now, could a russian/german correct me please (
especially, do germans pronounce the |h| in ludwig's
surname ? )
