Re: Do YOU pronounce Sigil with a hard or soft G?
"Sigh" is /sa͜ɪ/ and "Eye" is /a͜ɪ/. The vowels run together to make a diphthong.
"Samurai" the way English speakers say it is /sæməra͜ɪ/ with that same diphthong, but the Japanese say /samurai/ with the /a/ and /i/ as separate monophthongs (which is why they chose to write it "ai" when romanizing it instead of something like "ī").The Curse of the House of Rookwood: Supernatural horror and family drama.

Re: Do YOU pronounce Sigil with a hard or soft G?
Yeah, in reference to my saying "Sah ee" is how I pronounce "sigh," I was specifically referring to when I draw out the vowel sound. "Siiiiiiiiiiigh." The way that's written looks like one sound all the way through, but what actually happens when I say it is "sahhhhhh-eeeeee." Though the slur between "ah" and "ee" is very pronounced, so it's not a sudden transition. But despite that, there's still a distinct time of "ah," of "ee" and of transition between the two, rather than it all being one sound.
