' you're making a big assumption; I don't believe there's any such word! However, those letters in that order would probably be pronounced with an 'I' sound at the beginning, as in the words 'tie' or 'try'.

When you say 'a word...' you're making a big assumption; I don't believe there's any such word!

However, those letters in that order would probably be pronounced with an 'I' sound at the beginning, as in the words 'tie' or 'try'.

I went to onelook.com and entered "iedna". There were only two hits. The first is a Polish town, Miedna, pronounced MEE-ed-nah. The other is another Polish town, Pobiedna, pronounced pah-BEE-ed-nah. Neither pronunciation is consistent with the expected phonetic values or stresses in English.
