QuoteAncient Greek:
/​çaˈɾiː.klei.a/ (~ kha-REE-klay-a)
No, that is not quite right. BtN is even unable to automatically simplify the IPA pronunciation that you provided! Did you just piece it together on your own?Anyway, the Wikipedia article that I linked to in my previous post clearly states that the IPA pronunciation for the Greek letter chi is [kʰ] in ancient Greek, and [x] as well as [ç] in modern Greek. As such, the first letter of the IPA pronunciation that you provided is already wrong.Furthermore, the article states that the IPA pronunciation of the vowel combination ει is eː in ancient Greek and i in modern Greek. So that part of your IPA pronunciation is wrong as well.The ancient Greek IPA pronunciation for Χαρίκλεια should be something like /kʰaˈɾi.kleː.a/ , which BtN automatically simplifies to ka-REE-kleh-a.
