To whom it may concern:
I wish to know how initial iota would have been spoken when before an
epsilon, and with a rough breathing mark.
For example:
Was 'Ieremias "Hee-er-em-ias" or "Yer-em-i-as?"
Was 'Ierusalem "Hee-eh-ru-sa-lem" or "Ye-ru-sa-lem?"
While I'm on the topic of semi-vowels, was Neemias "Ne-em-i-as" or
"Nyem-i-as?"
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Peter Heffner
