(pressed send a little prematurely) without the long final e:
minestrown rather than minestrow-knee

like the store owner in Do the Right Thing who calls his product
phonetically "pizza" instead of "peet-sa" an anglicization without
losing distinctiveness...

and thus surmise wayvone doesn't lengthen the ending "e"...
