Nah... it's "lüks" of course because it is spelled with an y which is
pronounced "üpsilon".

Sure... "lüks" and "lüngs" are somewhat similar... But pronouncing them
properly  has the big advantage over "licks" and "links" that  

  (a) you do not have to open your mouth too far (I actually wonder how
      Lars could talk about "licks" in this mosquito infested tundra where
      he happens to live without getting too much living things between the
      teeth) and 
  (b) you do not mistake "lynx" for "links" - which is an other decent web
      browser.
