+Holocron Phonetic Pronunciation Key
+This only applies to syllables that end with a vowel sound, not a consonant. The idea is that adding an H after a vowel gives it the soft vowel sound. Adding an E after a vowel gives it the hard vowel sound.
+soft vowel sound
+* -AH (like cat)
+* -EH (like in pet)
+* -IH (like in kit)
+* -OH (like in COT) [yeah I know, this one sometimes looks wrong so I often like to add additional clarification or figure out a different way to spell it out]
+* -UH (like in cut)
+hard vowel sound
+* -AE (like in hay) [-AY works just as well]
+* -EE (like in bee)
+* -IE (like in tie) [sometimes using with certain consonants make us want to read it differently (ie SIE) so addition clarification or an alternate phonetic spelling might be helpful
+* -OE (like in toe)
+* -UE (like in due)
+There's not a whole lot of difference between AA and OH, so I tend to go with AA to avoid confusion.
+The idea is for this to be a clear and simple system, but it's our knowledge of the English language that ends up fouling things up.
