ArchivesRe: Lamya and Eirian
in reply to a message by Cera
I don't know about Eirian, but Lamya is pronounced:
lam-YA-ah'
the lam is short, almost like lem, and then ya is just like "yeah!", and then the ah' is a very short glottal stop.
OR you could pronounced it LAM-ya without the final glottal stop, which makes it sound much more beautiful.
however you choose to do it, just remember that in arabic the stress is always on the second to last syllable.

I can't figure out how to edit, but on further thinking...
the first pronunciation should be "LAM-ya-ah" instead of "lam-YA-ah". the only difference would be whether you choose to say "LAM-ya-ah" or "LAM-ya".
since the stress is on lam, you would pronounce it like lamb.
