    Makes sense, it is to avoid sounding like they are swearing at him.

    You know how it is with accents... imagine all the mistakes which could occur.

    If Vuk sounds like a swear when you say it, then you are not pronouncing it correctly.
    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

    Accents, Mister Vook.

    Over here, Some regions say Dok for Duck (and similar for something else). So which ever way, you are can be interpreted as saying something unpleasant.

    For those not Vuk-savvy.
