Hello,
I would have thought there had been someone who had given a
definitive answer to this question. If Dr Jameson didn't think so,
here it is.
The Russian word is "evro", the first vowel pronounced as "ye" with
a stress, thus the last "o" as a schwa. Its usage is similar to the
Spanish "peso", i.e. a neutral noun without declensions.
aural source: radiomayak, 3.30 a.m. Moscow time today.
verbal source: kommersant daily, 19 Jan 1999 issue, etc.
Cheers,
Tsuji
