I've heard of plenty songs using "nai nai nai" as the nonsense syllable, without worrying that it sounds just like the word "nigh", or "dum dum dum" without worrying that it conflates with "dumb"

erinja:I think "du du du" is fine, no one would ever mistake it for "two" in the context.I would add a famous example of this: The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel. Though the syllable is "lai lai lai," Nobody confuses it for the word "lie."

Likewise, Do Re Mi from Sound of Music points out the similar sounds of nonsense/musical syllables and real words as a memory tactic.

erinja:I think "du du du" is fine, no one would ever mistake it for "two" in the context.Once I translated "Deck the Halls" into toki pona, and someone objected to my using "la" as a nonsense syllable, since it's a tp syntactic word. But I'm like, no real person is going to try to parse "a la la la la" as anything grammatical! I don't think anyone else was worried about it, though.

Sorry I'm a bit off-topic; that's just what came to mind...
