Quick...the first person who tells me in Email how to
pronounce these latin phrase (which are incorrect, btw,
intentionally)...hmmmmm...will win a valuable prize?
No....how 'bout just a bit of gratitude.

hic mulier
haec vir

My guess is hic, like hick.  Unless, it's an eeee sounding
i, as if found in Spanish.  The mulier part also confounds
me, for I don't know what type of "u" sound it has and also
don't know if the "ier" would be pronounced like French,
with the ier sounding something like e-ay...or if the "r"
sticks around and gives an "r" sound.

Haec vir I've just been pronouncing like it's written.
