 * Yes, on occasion. Especially around classicists and historical linguists I hear all the time as well. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 10:15, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you, that's pretty interesting. I reckon they prefer the unchecked vowel for historical reasons, while the nonspecialist pronunciations have checked vowels because a vowel before is usually checked? ←₰-→  Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  11:31, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure tbh - figure people just don't want to say or  (although no doubt some do). As far as specialist pronunciations go you hear a lot of variation. I sometimes find myself saying   myself when speaking with classicists. You hear - and start saying - a lot of funny things when you interact a lot with classicists, I have found.
