How to pronunce "heex"?

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!

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).

I read heex as /hɪks/, and eex as /ɪks/.

I mean, I appreciate all the phonetic symbols and tricks, but this is what I wanted :smiley:

Cheers!
