I'm not distinguishing between [i] and [I] as IME, when I hear [i] and
[I] as different, the [I] sounds like either /e/ or /@/ (but the [i]
sounds like a possible unusual /I/). If I don't pronounce "Igor" as
/Aego:/, I pronounce it as /Iigo:/.
So ... our prounciations of "ignore" are equivilent, but I was being
phonetic-sans-diacritics.
