Shock is definitely right for the way I remember it being pronounced on
the TV show. The way I understand it to be pronounced would be something
like (warning, fixed font required for proper viewing):
__ _
zhak koo sto
using standard dictionary pronounciation symbols. Ok, looking in my
dictionary, they list it as:
.. __ _
zhak koo sto
(the a has two dots over it)
or using special characters:
zhäk k
