> die, lie, pie, tie, vie Those are all pronounced like "dye", not "day"/"aye". > science, diet, quiet, ... That has a "eh" (like "bet") between the "I" and the "n". > cried, denied, ... Again, that's "dye", not "day"/"aye". (Also I wasn't counting contractions of words ending in "-y" + a suffix, since that seemed clearly unrelated to the German loanword process, but that's more of YMMV thing.) Edit: wait, you were pronouncing "aye" like "I", weren't you? I assumed not since it makes more sense to use, well, "I" for that. Or even "eye". Bloody accents, and bloody six monophthongs and two offglides packed into five(-ish) letters. Although that doesn't cover "ee", and "science", "diet", "quiet", etc still aren't examples (the "I" is the pronunciation only of "i", with "e" producing a subsequent "t(e)ch" sound.
