| Jul 21, 2020 at 8:45 | comment | added | Teleporting Goat | I've also always heard upsilon as /ypsilon/ and zeta as /zɛta/ (no 'dz' or 'tz'). I don't know if it's correct but it's definitely a pronunciation you can encounter. After looking it up, TFLi shows [dze-] and [zε-], the wiktionary \zɛ.ta\, so I'd say both are possible pronunciations. | |

| Jul 19, 2020 at 15:38 | comment | added | Eau qui dort | I'm not doubting the pronunciation of upsilon with /œ/, but I've always used it with /y/ and that's what indicated in the TLFi too. | |
