I can't think of any words in the language that have a short 'y' sound in the first syllable so I say "sigh-gwin". -- I use digital signatures and encryption. My key is stored at pgp.mit.edu key ID code: "0x8DB3BF09". F: F628 D9D3 E57A C281 5EFE 7DF7 B52A A393 8DB3 BF09

Other than Cygnus? Cygnus Solutions originally made Cygwin (before Red Hat bought them). Cygnus is pronounced 'sig-n&s according to m-w.com, so I'd assume Cygwin is pronounced accordingly.

How about 'syllable' itself?
