Ew?
Kaltxì!
In the pronunciation guide, "ew" is written like it's two syllables, ey-o. I'm basically confused. So in a word like flew (throat) would it be pronounced fley-o, two syllables instead of one? Irayo.

The problem with pronunciation guides there is that they are very region specific.  So for example if I were to say "You pronounce /a/ like in father" - then someone who is in an area with a similar manner of speaking as me might pronounce it just fine.  But someone from, say, the UK or Australia might say it wrong because they say "father" differently.

Ok, thanks, that's basically what I was looking for, basically if there was supposed to be two syllables. Irayo!
