Papyrus Pronunciation
2016-09-30 00:10:05 · answer #2 · answered by luff 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
The plural of papyrus is papyri.
It is often claimed that Egyptians referred to papyrus as pa-per-aa [p3y pr-ˁ3] (lit., "that which is of Pharaoh"), apparently denoting that the Egyptian crown owned a monopoly on papyrus production. However no actual ancient text using this term is known. In the Egyptian language, papyrus was known by the terms wadj [w3ḏ], tjufy [ṯwfy], and djet [ḏt]. Thus in reality, Greek papyros has no known relation to any Egyptian word or phrase.

Just remember that usually the letter "Y" is used instead of the letter "I" and is pronounced as "eye" I remember when I was in Australia in 2004 they spelled those things that go on the wheels of cars "tyres" and pronounced it "tires" so perhaps you could say "pa pie re".
