And yes, it seems they do sometimes spell it as Divoc: https://www.quora.com/What-does-divoc-mean-in-Hebrew

Im not really buying this though, do we even have anyone here who is knowledgeable in hebrew.
The fact they deleted this link:https://jewish.shop/37046/what-does-divoc-mean-in-hebrew/ is telling.
Its exact pronunciation is mentioned here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFpn3Cv2CE4 You can listen to the exact pronunciation and make up your mind if it can be spelled as "divoc" or not. I'd say it would be a pretty good spelling. Spelling words from languages translated into English is always a matter of convention because the spelling always misses out on the original language.
