Hello Mark,

You were absolutely right when you stated that the ui-diphthong in general
Dutch starts with "a low front rounded  vowel moving to a high front rounded
vowel." The first element sounds like the vowel  in French 'soeur, seul'.
Together with the second element it sounds like French 'seuil'.
