Unfortunately my mail settings don't seem to be allowing me to post IPA
characters any more, but using SAMPA the pronunciations in my own Scots
dialect are /t at me:?I/ and /tQ:?I/ respectively.

Multisyllabic English words that end in an unstressed "-o" or "-ow" are
usually pronounced with a schwa-like sound for the final syllable in Scots,
/I/ in some dialects /V/ in others. I use the spelling "-ae" for this.

So the spellings would be "timaitae" (no universally accepted spelling) and
"tattie" (universally accepted).

For SAMPA see http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/home.htm
