Pronouncing words like Li'fyayä

[Txepä Tsyal]

Though I am pretty sure about the answer to this, I would like some second opinions just so that I know I'm not doing it wrong. Would a word like Li'fyayä be pronounced y-ay-ä (Consonant-vowel-vowel), or ya-yä (you get the idea).

You can hear Prof. Frommer say it himself in the message he sent. On http://masempul.org/, there's a link to hear the audio of what he sent. Lìfyayä is in the first sentence.

[Txepä Tsyal]

I can't tell exactly how he is saying it, the computer's speakers really suck.

[omängum fra'uti]

It would be lì'-fya-yä.

Your y-ay-ä makes it sound like you want to add another syllable there, but that would never be right.
