And the rest, the CIS part, I'd say the same as I'd say the first part

So: LAY-SIS.

The first syllable is LASS as in a girl and the second is pronounced with an

The stress is on the first syllable.

Vowel-consonant-vowel, first vowel long, works with any second vowel. As with

You can find picture frames which include a mount that has several cutouts
of different shapes - hard to describe! So you could mount various spriggs
