今天上班中途的不重要疑問：
為什麼phoebe是唸成非比而不是ㄈㄡˉ比

Phoebe is the Latin variant of Greek Φοίβι

οί was pronounced as [oi] in ancient Greek, but it's pronounced [i] in modern Greek, so the modern Greek pronunciation is similar to the English pronunciation.

Something similar happened to oe in Latin that was pronounced as [ε].

Foetus [fɛːtus]
