[Facts] Re: Pronunciation of Lys; plus a bonus question: Nyx

a message by Lillian
I had that same problem with names like
Thyra
and
Sibylla
. Someone told me the closest English sound was "ew" or a blend of "ew" and "ee." Since I can't really pronounce the "y" correctly I just say the ew/oo sound instead.
I hope this helps.
