Pine-ee-ah-zek. See, my guess is that it would not follow english and the
Pien would be pronounced as two syllables. Or possibly more Germanic where
it would have a long E sound rather than a long I.

Ah, well, as you said, no one believes you (probably because they are
right!). :-)
It's not hard to say so much as impossible to figure out. In the 1600s my
family name was spelled Schlieczkberndt (next generation Schlizckberndt,
then Schlickbernd). I had always suspected the extra e and t, but I have no
idea where that z came from and how it was pronounced. Why oh why didn't
they keep hacking letters off! :-)
