There are many weird and wonderful combinations in Vietnamese. Ngoeo....Khuyech... etc. Just letting others know that Vietnamese words are based on tone and pronunciation.
There are 'uyu' triphthongs. Infact, I could only find 2.
Khuỵu - to fall on your knees (it has a nang tone- see the dot).
Khuỷu - elbows/knee

I'm pretty sure no word exists in the Vietnamese vocab with this combination.

I would just go to Answers International below and ask the question there.
