"I think you forgot the 'v' sound, Ken. For some odd reason the Polish
language uses "w" instead of 'v'. So Murkowski should be pronounced
Murkovski, like another well known Slavic name, Tchaikovsky. All the other

"`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."
