Edin-br.  (There's a short vowel (a "schwa"?) on the end there that I
missed off because there's no unambigous ASCII symbol for it... But
it's the same vowel a child uses - at least in England! - to say "r"
when running through the alphabet, before they've learned the names
(ay bee cee dee) for the letters.)
