Why is Exodus pronounced like "Exidus"? Is there any historical reason for the "O" to be silent and "i" pronounced instead?
I understand from the comments that it is not "I", but a case of " O" not stressed. So to rephrase, how is this different from "exotic"?
As a foreign language speaker, I am interested to know if there are similar words like this?
Somehow Exodus doesn't fit with the generic pattern, I tend to say it with a stressed "O".
