Pronounce the c as "ts", so this is TSER-bo and not SER-bo. That single letter catches nearly every English speaker at first, and it matters, because serbo with an s is a Serb. is the physical organ, so keep it apart from for the mind and for the soul. It takes the figurative uses English gives it - is to rack one's brains, and sencerba is brainless in exactly the insulting sense you would expect.
