I don't know how you pronounce Montegue, but I've always pronounced the 'o'
as more of an "ah" sound than an "oh" sound. I also thought using a Q
instead of a q helped to emphasize the subsequent a. Thanks for the advice.

Somewhat closer to the English, and more action based. Also note the
spellings of Montegue and Capulet.
