Yes, I noticed the same thing myself, and prefer the small-"yu" form in
my own usage as more precise. Either is a sufficiently close
approximation of the pronunciation, though, so I left it alone as a
matter of personal judgment (and to avoid cluttering the list with
irrelevancies); I pointed out "mai" vs. "mei" because that *does* make a
difference to pronunciation.
