Hee. But that doesn't really mess it up that much -- I'd ask about the same four pronunciations, just without the "c".

(Actually the ones with "pluh" would have a glottal stop, and "pluh-oh" would have to mean "a fruit that began as a plum but then went terribly wrong", which may not be far off. [g])
