I'm not sure how is guh-nome supposed to be pronounced in English,
but it looks like something with the G in front. There are languages where
it's natural to pronounce G in GNU, Gnome and the rest. There are also
languages where "free beer" vs. "free speech" debate doesn't make sense,
since different words are used in those cases. :-)
