Dan, if it's the text of "O Quam gloriosum", I think you'll find the word is "sequuntur".  I also can't do IPA, but try "se-kwoo-un-toor"

Hi:

 

There's no such Latin word as "sequutur". There's "sequitur" or "sequuntur". In the latter case, the middle syllable is pronounced "-kwoon-" (with the "oo" as in "look", not "loon").

I believe the word "sequuntur" is in use in the legal community, more often as "non sequuntur" - with the English pronunciation following the Classical Latin model as: SE-kwoon-tur.  (they follow / they don't follow)

 

Although it may not be true in all polyphonic settings of the Liturgical Latin text of "O Quam Gloriosum," I am quite sure that the chant version for Vespers on All Saints (in the Liber Usualis) supplies separate neumes for the two consecutive occurrences of "u" -- with the accent on the second of those letters: se-kwoo-OON-toor

 

se - sa(y) no diphthong

kw as in Quam

oo (all of them) as in moon
