Hi, everyone! Does anyone know: Would I be wrong in thinking the letter combination “iaigh” is (in Ulster) pronounced EE-ay.

Abair.ie gives that pronunciation for words like fiaigh (FEE.ay), amfaibiaigh (amm.FABB.ee.ay), & ciaigh (KEE.ay)…but the two examples of such words on teanglann.ie (iaigh & fiaigh) seem to maybe saying (EE.eye) instead (but it’s a little hard for me to trust my ears).

Thank you very much to anyone who knows!

Could it be /i:jəi/?

Hmmm, that very well may be what I’m hearing. Thank you for your input! I’ll have to go back and listen a few times with fresh ears
