ArchivesRe: pronunciation of HODEI
in reply to a message by Cicely Jožefa Lundquist
In standard Basque (euskara batua) and in most of the Basque dialects, it sounds [o'dej] (oh-DEH EE).

I guess that's true, even if it sounds like ho-DAY or ho-DIE.

In Basque, just as in Spanish, all the E are [e], not [E]. So the English sound of "day" is impossible and, of course, the sound of "die" too.

Two things:
You have been asked, politely, not to guess on this board. Now I'm not asking; I'm telling you. This board is not for guesses.
And, anyone with any sense would back Lumia's knowledge against your guesses. She is a world authority. You have a lot to learn.
Maybe if you lurk for a while and read what actually goes on here, you will be able to participate in a way we can respect. It's worth a try.
