It is a wide discution if the Latin diphtong /ae/ was pronounced in fact
/ai/ or not.
The words as "haedus" or "caesar" which are represented in Gothic as
/ai/ (Gaits) and German Keiser (Caesar) should be relevant?
Which are in fact the arguments the Latin /ae/ was /ae/ and not /ai/?
For /ae/= /ai/ in Latin speaks too the name Kogaion which in Latin
appears rendered as "Kogaeonus".
