I may be betraying my ignorance here, but I find such a thing
impossible to visualize. The Erasmian pronunciation is contrivedly
artificial - why on earth would a Greek person use it? And, if a Greek
person were to use use it, would they not have to "twang" just as much
as a North American? It seems like your asking that someone speak an
artificial pronunciation naturally, and that that is probably
impossible.
Whatever the Koine pronunciation may have been, it certainly was *not*
Erasmian.
