Attn: Miss Claire re:pronunciation help
Hi Miss Claire,
Just wondering if you could help me with the pronunciation of the female Hebrew name 'Zakiah'. I am unsure as to whether it is pronounced za-kye-ah ('kye' as in 'sky'), or za-kee-ah ('kee' as in 'key')? Or perhaps neither of those are correct?
Thanks in advance,
Lilah

In fact, in Hebrew, "i" is never like "sky", it's like "ee". So Zakiah is za-kee-a or za-kya, depending on the accent. :)

Thanks for clearing that up for me:)
All the best,
