ゆうこうせい pronunciation

paryn said:

Hello,
Sorry for what might seem a silly question. I'm trying to learn pronunciation, and I was browsing words and phrases that have an attached sound file. I came across this word, and I thought the pronunciation was yuukousei. But, in the sound file, the person speaking seems to be saying it as yuuanasei.
I would post the url, but it seems I can't post third party urls until I have a certain number of posts.
The url also says yuukou, which adds a bit to my confusion.
My question is, is the pronunciation in the sound file correct and if so ... are there other similar words or phrases that resemble 窶堙､窶堋､窶堋ｱ窶堋､窶堋ｹ窶堋｢ in pronunciation? Is there a name for this sort of pronunciation characteristic, like "rendaku"?
Thanks again

anatawa ni jin arigato gozaimasu. (Sorry, still trying to figure out how to type in kana. Grammar I need to work on more than likely too)

Toritoribe is correct regarding the kanji, that's what it says on the site. As for the attachment of the url, I've put it in my profile so that it can be accessed a bit easier.

I've listened to it again this afternoon, and I still can't make out a "ko" in the middle of the pronunciation so I can rule out tiredness.

The pronunciation is COMPLETELY wrong. She said EXACTLY ゆうあなぜい.

My guess is that the word is 有孔性 （ゆうこうせい - porosity) and 孔 kou (on-yomi) is mispronounced as ana (kun-yomi).
