Pronunciation

[edit]

This is certainly not correct: IPA: [Naːˈtaːn miːliːkoːveseˈkiː] Does anyone know the correct pronunciation? It's true that in Biblical Hebrew there were long vowels, but this is no longer the case in Modern Hebrew. The /N/ is also clearly wrong. נתן מיליקובסקי - the Hebrew spelling of the last name features three yod/yud - it looks like someone thought they all had to be transcribed as /i:/. This is however clearly wrong, since only two of these yod in fact stand for a vowel, the other stands for /j/ = English y imho ... /na'tan milikovese'ki/ would be possible, but my guess is that the name is pronounced /na'tan milej'kovski/ or /milej'kofski/ ... can anyone confirm this?
