I realize this is a trivial point, but what is the official/correct pronunciation of “Soneraiâ€?
I’ve always pronounced it with an ‘ah’ sound at the beginning and a long ‘i’ at the end, like: Sahn•er•ī or Sän•er•ī, but then somewhere (I think it was a Fred video) I heard it pronounced with a long ‘e’ at the end: Sahn•er•ē or Sän•er•ē.
That got me to thinking about two things:
1) Is the ai-combination an ‘uh’, a long ‘a’ or a long ‘e’ sound?
2) Is the Son• at the beginning pronounced Sahn/Sän, or would it be the ‘uh’ sound, e.g. SÉ™n•, like in sun or son?
Does anyone know how John Monnett intended for it to be pronounced when he designed it?
(Yes I know, I need to spend more time getting my plane in the air and less time worrying about how to say it. LOL)
