Actually, there are accent marks above the \"c\" in \"noc\" and the \"s\" in \"duso\" so it\'s close to \"Lah-koo noch, Du-sho\".

BUZOV
: yes, even today some people in Bosnia say: LAHKU ('lahkoo')- with audiable 'h' as in 'hood' ... meaning : 'not heavy', peacefull, light ... Good Night = 'Dobra noch' ... and still can be used.

laku noc ljubavi
Mislim da je vise trenutno u upotrebi sada termin 'ljubavi'.
A lahku noc rijetko tko upotrebljava. Mozda na zahtjev.
This is usual phrase now. The kids learn in school 'lahka' but they say 'laka'.

Discussion
Laku - "Lak-" as "luck" + "u" as "oo" in "too"
noc /no�/ - close to "notch" but "o" is longer and the last consonant is somewhat softer
duso /du�o/- "dus-" as "douche" + "o" as in "hot"
would Lako noc, duso be pronounced as
Lako- "a" as in lake "o" as in hello
noc- "o" as in hot
duso- "u" as in due "o" as in hello
