Request for recording - letter "y"

[Nikolaos]

Would someone mind clearly enunciating the letters y and [y-long:39vazsd3][/y-long:39vazsd3], preferably as part of a word? Perhaps myrta and T[y-long:39vazsd3][/y-long:39vazsd3]deus?

Just in case you, guys, do not have a suitable program for voice recordings: Audacity is awesome and free

I hope this is working

y
as in

adytum
myrta
Phrygius

ȳ
as in

Thūkȳdidēs
Tȳdeus
θύμος (thȳmos)

 

[Bitmap]

Sorry, that should actually have been θυμός with the stress falling on the last syllable ... well, then again, a Roman would move the accent to the first syllable of course (like he moves it form the i to the y in Thukydides)

 

[Nikolaos]

Thanks, Bitmap. I'm going to have a hard time distinguishing that from "i" and "u", but I'll get it down eventually.

Yes thanks Bitmap. It makes things a lot easier to hear it...
