Re: Kelly
In Response To: Re: Kelly ()

my understanding/experience of the pronunciation of Manx words and names which end in 'ey' is that the e and y are to be pronounced separately, resulting in a ee-uh 'yuh' sound, not 'ie' or 'yah', though the latter may be the result of the influence of an increased English population.
