/eizau/ → /eizɔː/ → /eizoː/

From Middle Chinese compound Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value).

Uses the kan'on reading ei for the first character, and the goon reading zō for the second character. The combined reading is likely a later innovation in Japanese after initial borrowing.

/yauzau/ → /yɔːzɔː/ → /yoːzoː/

From Middle Chinese compound Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value).

The goon reading for both characters, so likely close to the reading as initially borrowed.

The yōzō reading appears to be obsolete in modern Japanese.
