Yep. Or for those of you who are more accustomed to reading ASCII-fied dictionary pronunciation keys, \s@-'rü-lê-@n\ ...

Anyway, this all reminds me of something from an anecdote from my childhood. When I was around 2 years old, I rarely referred to things as being a simple shade of brown or red or whatnot; rather, I picked up my lexicon of colors from the ol' box of crayons which I played around with so often. That's right; I actually *used* such terms as burnt sienna, mauve, raw umber, and the like as a child. Come to think of it, I also picked up such words as "magenta" and "cyan" from my early computer geekdom.

What was the point I was trying to make? Oh yeah, there wasn't one. Never mind.
