Don't know, but I'll guess #1, because the possibilities for error are so grand

and

#2, because I actually know this.

It seems everyone knows about that guy Ike. Who knew what kind of a hurricane he would be, though?

It was "FAKFAK" that was alleged to be the proper Polynesian pronunciation, and thus the proper US Military-ese pronunciation; for an island or an atoll whose spelling included the vowel "u".
