Hi folks,
According to dictionary.com, the syllabification of Lucknow is luck-now.
This being the case, using the know sign would be wrong since it crosses a
syllable boundary. I can't find any examples of this word in my Web-Braille
collection, though, so it's just my word against anybody else's.
I would suspect it should use the o-w sign instead of the k-n-o-w.
