Phonics - ae

[Ju]

ae ai ay ei eigh

Eg.
ai : paint
ay : say
ei : vein
eigh : weigh
ae : ?

The above letters sound the same. But I can't find the examples for the letter "ae"

Can anyone help? Thanks.

'ae' has various pronunciations.
In US English, words like aesthetics, anaemia, etc. have lost the 'a'. (Just as the 'oe' digraph has lost the 'o' - foetus, oesophagus, etc.)
Not all 'ae' or 'oe' combinations are digraphs though.
