Dubious about English pronunciation given[edit]

Currently given as /ˈdʌɪəfeɪn/. I don't think this sounds right. But I'm having a hard time finding a source to give for an accurate pronunciation as I don't really think the word has much currency at all in English. Oska 08:24, 16 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

"Something transparent or diaphanous" - distinct from sense 2 (a type of fabric). If this fails, it may be necessary to remove the plural diaphanes and make the entry uncountable. Note that Google Books finds various discussion about "diaphanes", something in Aristotelian philosophy possibly, but this appears to be its own Greek word (not a plural of an English "diaphane").
