[SOC] How do you say squirrel in German?

[Gwen Patton]

I use the American pronunciation, "skwurl" as opposed to the British
"sk-WIHR-ehl".

But I studied French and Esperanto over the years. I don't remember much
French, but in Esperanto, it's "sciuro", pronounced "see-OOR-oh", the
middle syllable being stressed, which is a general rule in Esperanto; the
next-to-last syllable gets the emphasis.
