}Would you clarify that last one? I have a hard time accepting "try" as
}homophonous with "tree".

Perhaps that should read :

Ah HA! Thank you. (Daybreak over Marblehead...)

Interesting, here, that I find myself using /ai/ more and more in "either" and
"neither" (especially in songs I write), which I used to scorn.
