Lol! Except for the fact that we pronounce it [g4&i] or [g@4&i] or with [d] for more conservative speakers, and that voiced stops get fricativised, so it really comes out as more like /GDe/, and that's ignoring the other things that happen to them, leaving it at something like /ie/, without paying attention to the order these things happen in... So I'm afraid, fitting though it may be, it isn't to be. Tristan.
