How do you pronounce DOSUBL?

[PaigeMiller]

I know what DOSUBL does — okay, I think I know what it does — but how is DOSUBL pronounced? And as long as I'm asking, how was the name DOSUBL created, is it an acronym, or a shortened version of some possibly understandable phrase?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Perhaps it is the 12th attempt to get it to work? DOSUBA, DOSUBB, ....

Hi:
I've heard it 2 different ways:
1) Dew-Sub-Ell (rhymes with well)
or
2) Dew-subble (rhymes with rubble)

I guess it is a matter of preference.

@PaigeMiller ,

Rick Langston said it is "abbreviation" from: "DO SUBmit Line", so I would sad (as he did) do(do)-sub(sub)-L(el).

DOSUBL is the Esperanto translation for the English word "double". So says Google Translate. So, anyone speak Esperanto? How would dosubl be pronounced in Esperanto?
