I think for the image we should get a drawing of an anthro hyena, rather than a real one. This seems more in line with usage.--Simplificationalizer (talk) 11:48, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
pronunciation[edit]
No one pronounces the word this way, it's not pronounced Yin. — This unsigned comment was added by 2601:603:a7f:ff90:6890:d8b0:7b74:7bf8 (talk) at 22:47, 10 December 2022.
- Are you referring to the English or Wolof word? I'm guessing the English word. I'm not familiar with the term, but the current pronunciation /ˈjiːn/ seems to superficially make sense since it's a shortening of hyena. If this is wrong, what would the correct pronunciation be? To be clear, the current English IPA indicates that it rhymes with seen (/ˈsiːn/). The audio is for Wolof. 98.170.164.88 22:57, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
