[DECtalk] difficulty entering the phonemes for a particular word in DECTalk.

[Mohamed Al-Hajamy]

Do you have to press the speak button for the phonemes to be logged, 
though? How exactly does the phoneme logging work?

However, when I try to write it using the phonemes "meh riy", I don't get a good sounding "marry" sound out of it. The problem is it says Meh ree rather than marry, and I can't seem to figure out what the word would be phonetically. The ey sound is less stressed than a normal a, and the ey sound is slightly de emphasized. I tried ey rx iy, as well as eh rr iy, however I can't seem to figure out what it would translate to. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
