I've read all the messages on Lael by x, and come to the conclusion that it's properly pronounced: LAY-ale, with both the a and the e sounding like ay as in hay. If the -el means God, it is Ale, not Ell. But if you try to pronounce it that way, it will sound like mail, because the l colors the ay sound. ("Colors" is a term for what r does to a vowel I found in my dictionary.)
Y :)
