LOL, I just opened a barrel of monkeys :-)
OK, I'm using Erasmian with the AI sounding like "eye". If the syllable
breaks at an iota it sounds like "ee". If an iota falls in the middle of a
syllable it sounds like "i" in pit.
Strong often breaks a syllable like the "dik" in (dik-ah-yos). I'm not
worried about all that.
I'm focused on repeatedly hearing the iota moved to the next syllable,
instead of being pronounced with the alpha as a dipthong. I want to make sure I'm
putting the iota with the correct syllable. I saw that there was a root word
ending in alpha and I'm assuming all this has to do with that?

Yes, it is a diphthong. I've always divided it as DI-KAI-OS. I think
that pronunciation
as DI-KA-YOS is wrong. My Erasmian would make it DEE-KYE-OS, but I'd
expect Koine
pronunciation would be more DEE-KAY-OS (with AY as in "May" or "de-
lay").
