Sax-oh-fo-nay
Huh, the way I say Persephone (per-seh-fuh-knee), Saxophone would be pronounced sax-aw-fuh-knee or maybe sax-oh-phony (the way I say saxophone normally in my accent is sacks-uh-phone)
Yeah, “ay” at the end is closer to the original Greek than the “ee” way we say it in English.
TIL, thanks!
