:-) I think you mean [lIli], the : means that the vowel lasts longer, double duration, that's only good for "sheet", "reed", etc... The letter I wrote as "I", which is in regular phonetic alphabet a small upper case I is the one you use in "kill", a not very open "i" typical of germanic languages (english, icelandic, swede, etc...). > Given what I know of French pronunciation, I'd pronounce the "y" like the "i" > in > "lit" or "Lisette". And as I mentioned before, the "i" is like the English > "kill"; I can't think of a French word with the same pronunciation. > > Carl Sorensen I don't think there's any. As a hobbist choral conductor, I think I can get the right result by saying the ugly "sh**" word, everybody knows how to pronounce that one. So, there seems to be two ways of pronouncing Lily, [lili] and [lIli], which sound the same to us latin language speakers anyway. We can hardly distinguish those two, we're known for that.
