Monday's Latin word(s) is de novo. The only pronunciation given for de is day. My dictionary gives the only pronunication as dee. In reality both are in wide use and ought to be acknowledged. This is an illustration of general disorder in pronunication of Latin words used in English. For an amusing discussion of the point, see the occasional remarks about it by the fictional character Stephen Maturin in Patrick O'Brian's sea novels.
