<p>
<p>How is <em>dechép</em> "seventeen" pronounced? Like
<em>dec-ép</em>, like <em>de-cép</em>, or maybe with a glottal
stop <em>dec-<u>?</u>ép</em>? That is, does the presence of the
letter <strong>h</strong> change the pronunciation of <em>dechép</em>
compared to a hypothetical <em>*decép</em>?</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>Philip</p>
<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>Verdurian <b>h</b> is purely orthographic. So <b>dechép</b>
is pronounced de-cép.
<p>(In case it's unclear to anyone, this word is composed of dec + hep;
it doesn't have a <b>ch</b> sound. I really don't like digraphs...)
