под пушкой.

I know what letters these are and how to say them, but I'm not sure how to pronounce this completely. Help?

Pod pushkoy (push- sounds here just like in "to push").

[nemica.livejournal.com]

It's "pod pushkoj" but in accordance with modern moscow pronunciation it should be "pat p'ushkaj".

[pat-'puş-kәj]
that's the closest I could get to IPA

You mean that the vowel in под isn't a schwa? I've heard that pre-tonic a and o are affected so that they sound more like "ah", but I didn't know it was that pronounced.

In standard Moscow pronunciation, unstressted pre-tonic "а" and "о" are [ʌ] (like "u" in "cut"), otherwise schwa.

['păt-'puşkăj] seems to be close.
