I mentally pronounce it "vedoq", and translate it as though "vedayaq
venimtza qal" were written out.

That's the Arhkh haShulchan's use. I think it's more common.

HOWEVER, there are mechaberim who use "vedoq" for "vedochaq qetzas"
-- pretty much the opposite of saying the idea is qal.

Tir'u baTov!
