How should this Augustinian phrase be pronounced:
jus ad bellum
?
Thanks.

my Latin pronunciation comes from singing, but I would say:
yoos ahd
bay
-loom
(but soften the bay to a bit more like beh)
edited per Mr. Faldage's suggestion for stress

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.
