Jim, I can't help you with the pronunciation aspect, but thought I 
would mention a resource I just ordered from IVP that may be of 
interest to you and others. It is called the  _Pocket Dictionary for 
the Study of New Testament Greek_ by Matthew S. DeMoss. It is described 
as follows:

"If you are beginning your study of New Testament Greek or Greek 
exegesis, this book is for you!

 From ablative to zeugma, it defines the tangled terms that infest Greek 
textbooks, grammars and lexicons.

Here is the book to deliver you from late-night ponderings of the 
predicate and frantic fumings over the fricative. It is the 
indispensable lexicon to that third language that is neither Greek nor 
recognizable English: the technical vocabulary of grammarians, 
lexicographers, linguists and Greek instructors. What's more, this 
pocket dictionary gives you the inside edge on the terminology of 
exegesis, textual criticism and biblical criticism.

Careful definitions, helpful examples and copious cross-references make 
this economically priced, brief dictionary easy to use. And its 
convenient size will make it a constant companion in your study of the 
Greek New Testament."

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it contains pronunciations, which 
would be a valuable addition to the book.
