Hello,
I'm working with the series, "Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata" and am currently starting the 5th chapter. I've been using Luke's readings as a guide for pronunciation, but now have a question regarding "y" in Latin words.
In the word Syria, it's pronounced like an "i", but in the word Peristylum, it's pronounced like an "u".
Is there a rule for how to read "y"?
