Instant Phonetic Englishization: Like the English word ‘lie’ repeated, except
for the addition of glottal stops to make Lolly’s version of the word. For Annie’s version of the word, see and listen
to the interview segments “Mouth 1” and especially to “Mouth 2”, to hear the
range of pronunciations for the Milluk diphthong / æi /, which Jacobs wrote
with the phonetic symbol Epsilon [ ɛ ].
To hear what a Milluk shortened diphthong sounds like, see and listen
to the interview segment “Back”.
