oh yeah i would pronounce the hoos in hoosteen differently than just hoos. so i voted jews.

yeah but since "hoos" is derived completely from "hoosteen" it would make sense that one would pronounce "hoos" in the same manner that they would pronounce "hoosteen"

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:37 (fourteen years ago) link
But what I'm saying is that you don't ever pronounce "hoos" as a discrete syllable in "hoosteen." Or at least I don't: I say it "hoo-steen." Which makes neither "hooze" nor "hooce" ideal; to be honest, I think I imagine the "s" as being vocalized only slightly.
