"The woman (of) sorrows" is a literal English equivalent of the French phrase la femme douleurs. The pronunciation of the truncated phrase -- which typically appears as Notre Dame des Sept Douleurs ("Our Lady of Seven Sorrows") and which references the seven griefs in the life of Our Lady Mary (18 B.C.? - A.D. 41?), mother of Jesus of Nazareth (7 B.C.? - A.D. 33?) -- will be "la fahm doo-luhr" in French.
