a	sometimes pronounced deep, as in “Jar”, sometimes light, as in “Advent”	pronounce within that range, and not as the other possible vocalizations of the letter A
e	as in the first “e” of “presence”	two e are literally pronounced “e-e”, twice the same sound “e” (as the first “e” of presence), not as the sound usually rendered by “ee” in English, and which is always exclusively transliterated by i or y.
i	as "ee” in English	stands for a long, full sound “ee”
y	as "ee” in English	stands for a short “ee”, either before or at the end of another vowel
ey	as a single syllable, as the “ei” in “reign”
ei	equal duration of the two sounds transliterated by the letters “e” and “i”, as the “ei” in “deity”.

NOTE
The Holy Name YHWH is not to be literally read, as a “Y” followed by an “H”, then by a “W” and then by an “H”, but is purposely transliterated in a way which does not fully express Its actual pronunciation.
