That's the way it was explained in the book. Shi- VON.

It took me forever to "translate" it every time I saw it. In print, it hit my eyes as SEE-A-BAHN- and my brain had to stop and go no, it's Shi-VON. If you are a fairly fast reader, it's like a stutter and totally upsets your rhythm.

Her last name was spelled Hough and she pronounced it Hoy.
