Wow, it's been a while since I've checked this. Anyhow, I'm fairly certain Oum is pronounced with a long U sound. (Also, I skimmed through the discussion on the pronunciation of "hyperbole", and while HY-per-bole is a common colloquial pronounciation, the correct pronunciation is hy-PER-bo-le.  Note that a common pronunciation is not necessarily an acceptable one.  However, the adjective form, "hyperbolic", is pronounced hy-per-BOL-ic.)

Heh, my mom made me take a course on syllabification when I was in junior high... now you get to try to figure out how to syllabify "syllabification".
