I did mean rhyming with "meh", not a long "a" at all! In IPA, I'd say it's ɛ, like the vowel in the English word "bed". So it really sounds like "a" to you? Hu

- OJFord 9y agoOh, interesting. It does, yes, but as I alluded to that differs from 'ay' in which I'd linger slightly more on the end 'y' note if you see what I mean. Less extreme than the way Americans linger on a syllable-ending 'r', but the same sort of thing.
