[Opinions] Re: Adah
I pronounce it like Ada: emphasis on the first syllable, which rhymes with hay. AYda. I don't like either of them, and although I know the -h is correct for a Hebrew name, because Ada is so well known, it looks as if the second syllable is being foregrounded for some reason so I expect it to sound different somehow, probably emphasised to sound like aDAH. I've never heard it used, and I really hope I'm wrong.

Adah in Hebrew is pronounced AH-dah. I think most people would say it like they would Ada though, so AY-dah.
