I think MYNE could work but not MYN.

English spelling has some general rules and patterns but there are so maaaany exceptions that it is hard to teach spelling at school. Besides, there are accents and spelling reforms that undermine any efforts to teach spelling.

Why MYNE?

Well, silent e at the end means that y would most likely be pronounced [ai], otherwise y looks like short [i]. Myn = [min]
