Using an IPA ASCII equivalent (courtesy of the Diction Domain),
/sylv&js saN/
is it, unless I misunderstood Lloyd's direction (I don't know the pronunciation, I'm just transcribing his instructions!) I assume the 'u:' above is an umulat.
Lloyd, is this name evocative of or equivalent to the English Sylvia? i.e., Sylvia's Song? (I regret I'm not familiar with the song.)
