Maybe some English speakers pronounce it like that. In German it's,
well, "Wirth". English speakers might write it as "veart", where the
"ea" is as in the word "hear" or "fear".
I wasn't giving a pedantic pronunciation lesson; as you pointed out, there
is no direct English equivalent. Hell, the English even pronounce words
differently in different counties (and I should know).
