Do YOU pronounce Sigil with a hard or soft G?

[Max_Killjoy]

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.

Evidently I'm cutting off or silent on the starting bit of the "proper" pronunciation. /s

The closest I'm getting to that first part everyone is talking about is a little nearly-silent "pop" or "puff" of breath as the tongue moves into position for the actual "I" sound, or if the "I" follows another letter in a word there's a tongue position shift from that letter to the "I" itself. (I don't know how else to describe it... there's a silent movement of air during the part where I'm being told there "should" be another sound leading into the sustained "I" sound.)

And yeah, it's try, fright, sight, sigh, eye, kite...
