Wow, this is truly incredible! I feel kind of bad about the time you took to try to figure out how to communicate a sound to me. I apologize, in advance, for my inability to 'let go of this bone'. You just never know what my 'crazy' mind will latch on to.

Unfortunately, your answer hasn't helped. My laptop can't type the German unlaut, so bear with me. I know woman named Zoe, and in American english, the e here sounds like what we call a long e, but that may or may not be how the name is pronounced in German.

I did a mad search and have only found that the German alphabet consists of the english letters a-z, plus 3 letters with an umlaut (over a or o or u) and the eszett ligature (can't type that either).

So, I ask, what and how are you putting that umlaut over the e in Zoe. Here are some websites that were supposed to help me understand the sound for your cat, Pauline's, name, but no help there.

Finally, this last website had actual verbalized sound. When and if you are still at all interested, try it and let me know what the e in Pauline sounds like by picking from this sound list

I realize that you may be bored with the subject and you can just call it quits, but since it obviously got stuck in your mind so much that you tried to research it, you might find it interesting (I did). - El

P.S. I found out that one of my old players had that eszett ligature in his facebook name, and that my game running on windows actually truncates my internal FL file because of it, so I had to delete that friend entirely from my game. It didn't affect the running of my game, but wouldn't allow me to practice my wizardry. Who knew? Wasn't a problem on my android.
