• (RP) IPA: /ˈjʊɹənəs/, /jʊˈɹeɪnəs/
• (US) IPA: /ˈjuɹənəs/, /juˈɹeɪnəs/
• Rhymes: -eɪnəs

• The traditional pronunciation with a stress on the second syllable is often avoided today because of the homophony with your anus. Also, the pronunciation with a stress on the third syllable or with a stress on the first syllable is sometimes avoided because of the homophony with "urine us".
