so you know how you sorta breathe out when you begin to say the "h" at the beginning of a word? life a huff almost? the word begins with that huff, not the full h, just the huff. I'm not sure writing it phonetically would get that across.

HUE-ree-ka is the way I was taught during university.
HUE-reh-ka is apparently also acceptable, and probably more prevailing now.


first syllable:
if you were to say it in extreme slow motion it would be: eh-you elided (with the huff of air first). However, in regular speech it's closer to hew/hue with the "h" barely spoken. Emphasis is here.

second syllable:
tbh, regarding "η" I know I was taught that it was long e as in "ee" but apparently that's the subject of some controversy (so english and japan as equally correct here lmao), so I gave you both versions, the second being the IPA version.

last syllable:
ca, like the sound a crow makes without the "w", slides off/weaker than the rest of the word

Innnnnteresting! Thank you. :D I did not know there was any controversy over the pronunciation of this word, but...that's America for you.

I remember reading 'Goodbye Mr. Chips', and the 'controversy' in that book between Mr. Chips and the new head of the school over Latin pronunciation, which I *also* had no idea was a 'thing'.

To be fair, I was....12? when i read that, so not like Latin was looming large in my life, or anything, but up until that time, i hadn't really thought about it was pronounced, as I was too ignorant to know that people actually studied and spoke it like any other language.
Thanks again! This is neat. :D

For once, it's not an America thing, it's more of how much of Greek by way of Latin is useful thing.

I think every academic subject needs a couple good rousers for all the conferences they have, ha ha.

[tabaqui]

Hee! I think so, too. :D
