    But are pronounced differently:

       [ˈvaxˌʃtuËbÉ™]

    Decades ago, I stumpled over another amusing example:
       Radiosen-
       dung

    "Dung" is dung, of course; I knew of "Radiolaren",
    but what are "Radiosen", after all? Re-reading the
    sentence two times, I found that it was about a
    "Radio-Sendung" (radio broadcast).

    Best wishes,
