Q. What is the correct pronunciation of “briya” as in “it does not become annulled even in a thousand”. Artscroll spells it as “briya”, conversely the Mesivta and Veshinantam editions write the phonetics as; “birya”, while many old-timers pronounce it as “berya”, with a segol.
Which is correct?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that both spellings are correct, however the “berya” pronunciation, although it may be the most popular in certain circles, it is grammatically incorrect.
