Le Guignon Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I say both. It depends on what sort of mein I'm attempting to affect. Kai-yotes is for the older rural people and those from the SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I don't actually know, but I have a feeling literally no one is pronouncing it right. Why would it be spelled 'coy' if it was pronounced 'kai'? That makes no sense. What in god's name language that influenced English is 'oy' pronounced 'eye'?

I don't care to do a lot of research so I'm just going to have to take your word for it that a) that is how they pronounce 'oy' and b) East Indian languages influenced English, to the point apparently that we didn't have a word for coyote from any European languages....

SwimModSponges Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 Sorry my post lacked context. "Ghoti" is an alternative spelling for the word "fish" because of how weird pronounciations of english words can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ghoti" is an alternative spelling for the word "fish" because of how weird pronounciations of english words can be. Ha. I had to wiki Ghoti and saw that definition first and was like. "that can't possibly be what he means." *scrolls down a little further* "an ethnic group from India, that must be what he means." I have nothing to refute the spelling of 'women' but there are plenty of words that fit said patterns as 'enough' and 'nation.' The reason the English language seems so stupid in that every rule it has it also breaks is because it's basically an amalgamation of a bunch of different languages. 'Coyote' to me looks and sounds kinda like a "corrupted" Spanish word, or even a word of some Native American tribe. Complete conjecture on my part though.
