The ayin is silent...so putting it there makes one want to say "ah" at the end. If you want to have people pronounce what the letters sound like together in Aramaic, it's Eshu. Yodh is long eeeee, not "Ye" and Ayin is silent...though some add the ' to at least represent the letter, I did for awhile, but it's silly.
In the movie "The Passion of the Christ", how do they say it? I forget...and I know they wernt always exact on their pronuciations. The Arabic form in English is spelled Isa, and is pronounced Eee sa, not Yeee sa.
Peace,
Chuck
