I think I picked an unfortunate choice of example, since the tau --> theta
transformation in hORAW --> KAQORAW complicates things. Instead, how about
the word hOSIOS and its negative using the alpha-privative prefix, ANOSIOS.
If the former is pronounced "Haw see os", do you pronounce the latter "an
HAW see os" or "an AW see os". I realize there probably is not a definitive
answer to this question, but I am curious how most of you would say this
word.

I would pronounce it 'aN-NO-SI-OS' (lower case vowels = short & UPPER = long
in Eng., I = 'ee' in 'feet').
