    Ohh, no, did I forget to wrap my parentheses in sarcasm tags again? Too bad.

    If I could find the symbols for short A and long A, I would post them. But to suffice:
    Ma = mah
    Maw = ma-uh, but in one syllable
    Apparently, people enjoy adding an extra W sound after the former.

    Ma can be used a bastardization of Vietnamese (ironically enough, the word for mom), or shorterned from Mama/Mother.
