ae in Greek-derived words is /i/ Aesop /i:sop/ Aegean /i:dzi ən/ Haem /hi:m/ as in haemoglobin, haemophilia. (Spelled 'hemo' in AmE) Paediatrics /pi:d.../ (pediatrics in AmE) UO - there are two ways that I can think of: 1. Duo is /dj'uo/ or /duo/ in AmE. that is, 2 sounds: u then o with the stress on u, duodenum. duopoly /dju'opoli/ The stress is different here. 2. Quod is /kwod/, but you won't see that often. Duomo (an Italian Cathedral) /dwomo/ Cuomo (an Italian name) /kwomo/ If you have any particular words, post them. |
