Instant Phonetic Englishization: dah_hai, ends just like the English word ‘high’.
Shortened Diphthong: There is the pronunciation [ dáhaⁱ ], with the short diphthong, the two times that the word occurs in the Milluk texts, but there is the pronunciation [ dáhai ], in Jacobs’ slip-file dictionary. On one file slip, he spells it ending with the lower case letter i, as [ dáhai ], and on another file sip he spells it with an Iota, as [ dáhaɩ ], but on those file slips in his handwriting, there is no indication of a shortened diphthong.
