Thread Name: Help: on Biblical English: pronunciation of 'shew'
Subject: RE: Help: on Byblical English
"SHOW" is correct. If you listen carefully, most English vowels are pronounced as dipthongs (that is two vowel sounds merged together). SHEW/SHOW is pronounced E-O. Spelling wasn't regularised until the 19th Century but "Shew" was a pretty common spelling at the time.

Cheers!
