I'm not sure how certain we can be of how anything was pronounced, that long ago. BTW, there is speculation that we could actually hear some recorded sounds, such as speaking, on ancient pottery! The idea is that, as the clay turns, someone is scraping it with a tool while they are talking, and the sound vibrates the tool (microscopically) and records the sound as if it were a phonograph. Cool, huh? Far as I know, nobody has successfully played anything back, but I haven't really dug into this. Wouldn't it be great if some potter just happened to say "Iēsoûs" at exactly the right moment?
