This is what I understand.....
If the Phi is the second letter of a Greek name, and the first letter of the Greek name is a vowel, and there is no third letter, it is pronounced FEE.
EX:
(VOWEL) (PHI) (NOTHING) = (VOWEL) (FEE)
When I say "vowel," I am referring to those letters that are vowels in the Greek language, not having a vowel at the end of a word (ex: alphA) like is quoted below.
Hope that helps!!!!!!!

We (AEPhi) prounounce it phi because epsilon does not end in a vowel.
Does that help?
