      Nah, englishers just lack the skill.

      In greek, the p is loud in pterodactyl and psychology.

      Saiki for psyche, psh, that’s 1/6 letters read correctly. Or with greek letters, that’s 0/4 (ψυχή).

        It’s a more subtle P sound though, blended into the next consonant. Omitting it is the lesser of two evils compared to saying “putterodactyl”
