You are welcome :-)!. The "i" in the second syllable didn't sound long 
to me though, but I admit I don't have a good ear :-). I forgot to tell 
that I also listened to the scene with "he caught that thing in his 
hand" (Steven Fry reading), and unfortunately, it sounds like "in his 
hand" modifies "caught" ;-(.

doesn't ...
