Yes, I know this topic died ages ago, but I'm behing in my mail.
I've always imagined it pronounced as
jya NOIN
jya = the s in "leisure"
NOIN rhymes with "coin"
Apparently my interpretation is entirely different from everyone else's.
Although I can't exactly explain why, I think it's somehow related to
the pronunciation of Loiosh.
