I have heard ????????? /yushayyiku/ in the UAE among many Arabs from  
different backgrounds.

In Iraq it is normally pronounced ychayyik/yichayyik, having only one  
meaning: to examine, look into, inspect. All over Iraq the verb is  
such, i.e. chayyak-ychayyik-tachyiik. In Kuwait and UAE it is usually  
but not obligatorily of the same form. An Iraqi must be long out of  
Iraq, his/her personal pronunciation influenced by another dialect,  
to utter it shayyak. However, shayyak can be heard in Sirya and  
generally at all Arab airports.
