The third letter "M" represents the voiced bilabial nasal sound /m/, and the following letter "E" represents the mid front unrounded vowel sound /ɛ/. The final three letters "HTI" represent the voiceless dental fricative sound /θ/, the high front unrounded vowel sound /i/, and another voiceless dental fricative sound /θ/.
