[edit]Since final -ia, -ie, and -ee in Greek loans are all traditionally pronounced [ee-uh] in English, this moon should probably be pronounced the same as Orthosia, [or-THO-see-uh]. However, I received the following email from someone at JPL who signed only as "Ellis":
"Pronunciation of the moon names is an iffy thing at best. We still don't have universal agreement on the pronunciation of the Galilean satellite names. I can make an educated guess, but that is all it is:
Euporie (you-POOR-ee) Orthosie (ore-THO-see) Pasithee (PASS-i-thee)"
- Seeing as "pronunciation of the moon names is an iffy thing at best", why aren't the moon names using broad transcription, like the rest of WP? I don't think you can expect laymen to understand the distinction between [i] and [ɨ] which is phonetic, not phonemic for many speakers of English and should not be used inside of slashes. The same goes for [ɵ] and possibly others used in other moon names. -Craig Pemberton (talk) 14:53, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
