Wolfdieter Huy

[ouidjat]

Hi Larry,
There is one Free possibility to load the link given by Leo... Nothing more than the page concerning Huy on Luftwaffe.cz.
Concerning Huy pronounciation and your English way... Hum! Hum! Its a german name and I think Scott is asking "how do you pronounce it" .. In German!
But 1/ Is it a true german name? (With final "Y" which, for me sounds a Hungrian one)
And 2/ If it is, then it's a local name with local pronounciation.
then, it's better to think for:
(H being an aspirated consonant)
1/Hui (with Hungrian "y")
2/ Huü (for Y is an Upsilon)
or 3/ Huu long Hu.

I'm going to check further since I think it's a very good question! (Just think about a french asking for Ohio, for example!!! )

Franck.

Hi guys

The Rapidshare link is for free. All you have to do is click on "Free User" and then "Download" and the .zip should be available. The problem is that it only lasts for 10 downloads but I can easily repost it if the link expires. As far as I am aware of Kacha did not post Huy's biography. I wish there would be an easier way of sharing this .zip but Rapidshare is all I can think of.

Horrido!

Franck: thanks for your thoughts. HUY is also the name of a town in Belgium 26 km WSW of Liège. It has always been my understanding that the word is originally Belgian and not German, but I could be wrong, of course. The Flemish spell it HOEI. Accordingly, HUY in English prounciation may be HOY and not WAY as I said earlier. Anyway, the Belgian town has paper mills and metalworking plants, and has a population of about 18,000.

Leo: thanks for the instructions and information. This is the third time this has come up for me with that web site and each time with the same result. I must be landing on it after others have come in ahead of me and used up the download limitation.

... because you find the word "Huy" in German language too. It's the word for "Höhe" (height) in the language "Althochdeutsch" speaking in Middle age. There was spoken as "hüh".

Interesting! I have since found a source that gives the correct pronounciation for English language speakers:

Huy \ü’wē\ pronounced: oo’wee. The “oo” sound is as in the English word “loot”.
