Hi all,
this may sounds silly, but as a non-native English speaker,
I find it difficult to pronunce the word “heex”.
Example sentence:
“We have to consider the time needed to convert old eex templates to heex”
How do you pronunce that?
Cheers!

I mean, I appreciate all the phonetic symbols and tricks, but this is what I wanted
Cheers!

It’s pronounced heeeeeeeks with an [unnecessary] apologetic inflection.

I recommend ⟨iːks⟩ for eex and ⟨hiː↓ks⟩ for heex, where ↓ denotes an ingressive sound (inward airstream).

Maybe /hɪks/ for heex and “embedded elixir” for eex?

Ah ya in that case you could perhaps say: “We have to consider the time needed to convert the traditional templates into the component templates” and leave the matter of the actual file extension out of what gets spoken.

Ouch those sounds like the same to my ears.
I could use
sigil handsigil emaybec4710n
I read heex as /hɪks/, and eex as /ɪks/.
