pair E tun?
Answered by Writeacher
That's another way to put it, yes -- but not with the stress on the middle syllable. The stress needs to be on the first syllable.

PAIR i ton
Answered by Ginger
Yeah, I meant it's a long e sound by capitalizing the e, but I guess it can be i like in it?
Answered by Writeacher
Yes, that's right.

Keep in mind that pronunciation of Greek in ancient times varied as much as pronunciation of English does today -- in Britain, in various parts of the US and Canada, in Australia, in India, etc.
