Thicknesse: Question on Pronunciation - All and Oil in Texas

Carol's attempt at copying the pronunciation key:

> pit    yes y   pie, by    zebra, xylem z   pier îr

Carol again:

the actual pronunciation key, particularly the "pit"/"pier" (breve vs.
circumflex) distinction, go to http://www.bartleby.com/61/12.html and
scroll down.
