Here’s an example of the sound I hear when with “aye” meaning “always”. The word “skite”, pronounced differently from “Skye”

Robin Jenkins illustrated the unpredictability of skiting in The Thistle and the Grail (1954):
“Don’t tell me he’s bald, for I don’t trust centre-forwards wi’ slippery heids, though, mind you, the goalie can never be sure what way the ball’s going to skite".
