Re: Deborah
in reply to a message by irene
I think I remember a Jewish friend pronouncing it duhVORa, with the VOR like or or oar with a v tacked on. So it's just the stress that moves to the middle syllable, apart from the b-to-v shift, which makes sense when you think of all the Slavic speakers using Varvara.
