    Is this the same sound as the word "eye"? Because definitely no mouth closing there, just a tongue position change near the back of the throat as the vowel changes from one noise to the other in the process.

    At least, that's the same sound that I'd use for try, fright, sight, etc. Although going by this thread that apparently doesn't mean much.
