Not at all. It took me a while as well. Its only that I heard it before seeing it written. A bit like eniwê for anyway :slight_smile:

Going slightly off topic - apparently one of the most mispronounced place names in Britain is Balachulish - easier to hear than to read, which is why I find SSiW’s approach so helpful.
