kyube or kyoob would definitely be the way to go.

It's funny you use "tube" as an example though, as in my British accent I pronounce that as "chube", whereas I believe many Americans would use a "t" sound for that word. Not sure how you settle on a spelling in those cases.



Regional variations are available! I think the BBC would have had it pronounced tyoob. And don't Americans pronounce it "subway"?


In the north of England it is still commonly 'tyoob'.


Most Americans sadly never get to ride one anyway.


No but they do eat at them.
