Help[Opinions] Re: Ay?
in reply to a message by Ginger
I always assume Ay when written as phonetic pronunciation guide is to be said like hay or stray. If I want to convey the long i sound I usually do "eye" or like that.
Ayla is pronounced like Kayla and Layla. Long a sound. I know this because I read "The Clan of the Cave Bear" and the main character is named Ayla, and it's explained how the name sounds to the Neanderthal people who adopt her.
I guess I'd say Aela the same way.

I've read every one of those books.
The last one, my daughter=in-law said"too many caves!" And perhaps there was, but I still loved them
I can't figure out how a spear-thrower works, though. Luckily I don't need to know.

I really enjoyed "Clan of the Cave Bear" but could not finish the next in the series. It was years and years ago, so maybe I'll try it again and it will grow on me.
I finished "Forever Amber" recently, which was extremely long and a very obvious ripoff of Gone with the Wind, and I thought I hated it (mainly because of the almost totally unsympathetic main character) but after I was done with it for a little while it has begun to grow on me.
