As in Italian and German and other better behaved languages than
English. French is a bit messy, since it actually has more vowels
than Chinese :). (Yeah! Italians have the "trailing vowel problem",
but that is an artifact of our neuronal pathways)
flet flet
defun defun
princ princ
nconc nconc
progn progn
eql eql
:)
Cheers

Spanish-infuenced English-oriented mind:
flet F-LET or EFLET
defun DEFUN
princ PRIN-CE
nconc NKONK; ENEKONK maybe when speaking in Spanish
progn PROG-EN
eql E-KU-ELE; E-KIU-EL when speaking in English
