I think it sounds like the o in love.

It's excellent on cold days and when I'm a little congested. Really outside the western gamut. I recommend getting it with beef on the rare side. It'll cook in the soup.

You are right about it not being an umlaut. I realized this when I went to the Pho place for lunch.

I forgot to say that you can also add bean sprouts and peppers.

Around the DC area very few places will serve it with the meat raw on the side. In HI, I could get it that way everywhere I went.

It is pronounced like "fuh" like what the fu** minus the ck. I think there is a chain called "What the Pho" out West.
