Re: Nevaeh
in reply to a message by beethoven
Because it also makes more sense for Nevaeh. ae is pronounced AY. Or otherwise it would be neh-VAH-eh or neh-VAH-ay but not neh-VAY-ah. That would only make sense as Neveah, maybe that's why this alternate spelling is popular.
Heaven backwards makes an AY sound. Well, more like NEV-eh or so but with a longer eh so it sounds close to ay.

If we are really strict about this Nevaeh should be something like "Niveh", shouldn't it?
I think someone needs to make a recording of themselves saying "heaven" and play it backwards for us.

I tried it
It's Nev-EH. [Not Nev-ay. Nev-EH!]

It's REALLY fast, and really quiet, so you'll need headphones (my microphone is crap). I say "heaven" first, and then you'll hear the backwards version.
[*.* and now it's cutting out before it's over. hope it's not doing that to any one else]

Niveh is actually pretty. Yeah we should try that to make sure ;)
