My team is curious to know whether Lucide is pronounced LOOsihd or looSEED (with the stressed / emphasized syllable in caps) or something else.

Thanks.

I think it's neither, but actually /ˌlyˈsi.də/, but I guess feel free to drop the schwa if you're a francophone to get /ly.sid/, or should you as an anglophone be uncomfortable with the close front rounded vowel you can also call it /ˈl(j)uːsɪd/.

Pinging @ericfennis for confirmation.

Thanks!

I'm not super familiar with IPA and am having trouble understanding.

Actually, maybe an easier approach would be if you know of a tool (something like https://ipa-reader.com/?text=%CB%8Cly%CB%88si.d%C9%99 which I just found) that knows how to pronounce your IPA code to your satisfaction.

Then you can confirm which tool + IPA code we should listen to, and we'll know how you say it!

Thanks for your great repo 😀

If you visit https://ipa-reader.com/?text=%CB%8Cly%CB%88si.d%C9%99 and choose "Salli [US English]" and press "Read", does that sound correct?

Thanks!
