The long "i" sound ("eye") is awkward to spell in English when a lengthening final "e" is not possible. How would one spell the following hypothetical words?
The sound of the syllable formed from the first three letters of "tiger".
A word the rhymes with "pint" but starts with "m".
tighg tiyg tijg tihg tieg teig teyg ti'g tigue tighe tuyg taig tayg tige
Real example: the awkwardness of spelling the 1-syllable abbreviation of microphone.
