(Spelled and read as it sounds). Except for the i at the end. To sound that: We must "know" that the i is making a long e sound. And we must "remember" that if it was spelled with e instead of i, it would not work, because we "remember" the silent e rule, and the le ending rule... Just more crazy material for your humorous spelling program...
