Opening post

The long e in me doesn't exist in Shona.

Sometimes people pronounce the short e as 'ay' as in Zimbabway. But to my ear the e sound in Shona is somewhere between the 'ay' and the English short e as in effort.

Not sure how Luke pronounces it, but it would be closer to the ay than the ee.

Thanks, I can understand that sound, the shorter sound form of "ay" is also present in my language.

Just when it seemed Zim had no hope and no prayer

up stepped the diminutive Proper Utseya

with a spin and a flick

he grabbed a hat trick

Lovely! :D
