The yod is not a consonant in this case, so there’s no ‘y’. I would go with dait, as per the HCM for double yod. If it’s the first 5 words, you could also add deit (as though it’s a Yiddish word).
From: Heb-naco [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gottschalk, Haim Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2017 4:28 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [Heb-NACO] vocalizing a word question Dear colleagues: How would you vocalize דייט? I could not the word in the dictionaries, nor find it vocalized in worldcat, nor on the internet. The word is pronounced as “date” as going out on a date. I have Romanized it as “deyit”. Thanks in advance.
