I thought you pronounced it 'Be-york', which is, unless senility has come on prematurely, how I heard Chris say it.

B-jerk without the "'d' in the 'j'".
Like Byerk or something.

The 'ö' or 'ø' is pronounced like 'i' in 'dirt', 'e' in 'jerk' or 'u' in 'murder'.
The 'j' is pronounced like the english 'y'.

I never knew how to pronounce µ-Ziq for a long time. I think I was calling something like q-zeek or something stupid like that. :P I found out that it's really pronounced mew-zeek. Yay.
