[Heb-NACO] vocalizing a word question

[Shinohara, Jasmin]

The yod is not a consonant in this case, so there’s no ‘y’. I would go with dait, as per the HCM for double yod. If it’s the first 5 words, you could also add deit (as though it’s a Yiddish word).

Dear colleagues:

How would you vocalize דייט? I could not the word in the dictionaries, nor find it vocalized in worldcat, nor on the internet. The word is pronounced as “date” as going out on a date. I have Romanized it as “deyit”.

Thanks in advance.

Haim
