How to pronounce lineae?

Linea is pronounced as /ˈlɪniːə/. And lineae?

Context:

Linea /ˈlɪniːə/ is Latin for 'line'. In planetary geology it is used to refer to any long markings, dark or bright, on a planet or moon's surface. The planet Venus and Jupiter's moon Europa have numerous lineae; Pluto and Saturn's moon Rhea has several.

Salty water seen flowing on Mars, not far from Curiosity rover

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has captured the strongest evidence yet that salty liquid water flows on the planet’s surface during warm seasons.

Whether or not these salty flows could sustain life depends on how salty they are, says Lujendra Ojha of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, who has reported the findings, along with his colleagues. “If the water is completely saturated with perchlorates [hydrated salts], then life as we know it on Earth wouldn’t be able to survive in that sort of concentrated water,” he says. “But if the water only has a tiny percentage of perchlorates in it, then I think we should be fine.

Recurring slope lineae – dark streaks that appear, get longer, and fade in each Martian year – have long been thought to represent signs of flowing water. Now that idea has been backed up by data from the Orbiter’s onboard spectrometer, named CRISM, which analyses reflected sunlight to detect patterns that indicate what minerals are present on the surface.

I was taught Latin at school and I would pronounce the 3 syllables thus

Lin-e-ae:

Lin like the name Lynn (to rhyme with thin; pin; sin)
e like the name of the letter A (to rhyme with pay; say; gay; hay; day)
ae like the word 'eye' (to rhyme with high; sigh; lie; pie; try)

@oristarA,
Ori hope this helps

http://www.pronouncenames.com/pronounce/linea

That would be IN as in lint, EE as in see and UH as in us

However maybe the Latin scholar pronounces it as T indicates above

Dale, clean your eyeglasses! He asked how to pronounce 'lineae'. Anyhow, as for linea which you linked to, I would pronounce the final syllable -a like the a in star; far; car.

I learned it (if I remember) as linn (like Lynn) a, (like in say), and ae, (as in say).

But I was taught by nuns, and don't remember what it would be in classical latin.
Four years of classes, but that was a long time ago. George may have an opinion on all this. We did read some classics, for example, Cicero's Catalinian Orations and Virgil's Aeneid, (a year for each) but spoke church latin.

I'd pronounce it LYNN (like the name) e (the name of the letter "e") ay (as in "say") with the stress on the first syllable.

@ossobuco,
A Latin pronunciation would be different.

I was taught by English public-school Latin teachers, and from what I can gather, pronunciation followed a late 19th Century idea of how Old Latin was pronounced.

@Frank Apisa,
Latin is phonetic, "ghoti" demonstrates the non-phonetic nature of English.

Google translate (shudder) just now told me that latin was detected.
I knew this, of course. Why would I pronounce it in english?

@ossobuco,
Your instructions were for a more Anglophonic pronunciation.

A more Classical Latin pronunciation would be:

Lee (like the name) ne (as in the first syllable of never) EYE (like the organ) with the stress on the final syllable.

Me too -- when using the Latin word in an English context.

Like ossobuco, I learned my Latin with "ecclesiastical" pronunciation.
This is scorned by Classics scholars, but I wasn't speaking Latin with them
anyway.
