How should this Augustinian phrase be pronounced:

jus ad bellum?

Thanks.
WW.

my Latin pronunciation comes from singing, but I would say:

yoos ahd bay-loom

(but soften the bay to a bit more like beh)

I had three years of Latin, but pronunication was never taught. So I can only guess that
"jus" would be pronounced "yoos".

Mr. Shrdlu has it. It'd be like that in any respectable Latin pronunciation scheme. The bell gets the stress.
