A new day, a new year.... Let's hope for a good one....
Said- is that "sed" or "syeed"?
Machjo. IPA /'matSjO/ (or as close as I can get it with the basic 26 letters of the alphabet).
Or /'matshyo/ as an approximate phonetic spelling in English.
If you pronounce Said as /'sai:d/ it sounds almost like /sayid/, which means a descendent of the Prophet Muhammad.
