    I don't think I've never heard someone describe a single bed as a ledikant. My first intuition for pronouncing ledikant from an English perspective would be "leddai can't", not lady cunt. I guess if you heard someone pronounce it in Dutch, it would be closer. I don't often feel a need to describe a bed in such specific terms though, so maybe it's not such an obvious word to find.

    Het woord 'vaak' klinkt in Nederlandse oren niet als 'fuck' of 'vak', maar in sommige buitenlandse oren wel. Namelijk als in die talen de lange aa-klank niet bestaat. Dan horen de sprekers ervan geen onderscheid tussen die korte a en de lange aa. Dit verschil is altijd weer goed voor veel gelach bij cursisten Nederlands als tweede taal:-)
