How would you spell the sound short "i" makes?

[QuirkyKapers]

I am trying to create a chart for Latin.  In one of the declensions it has an "i" with the sound it makes in kiss.  How do you phonetically spell the short i sound?  Thanks!

Can you put the u above it? You know, when you look at the pronunciation of a word and they have those u's above the short vowels.

The standard way is \i\

Those aren't us, they're breves. I wouldn't advise it, as in Latin that can indicate a short syllable.Could get confusing, though luckily we usually only mark the long syllables. Can't think the last time I saw it that way... Either way, diacritics get messy and ugly.

 

I suppose you could use this as an opportunity to learn IPA. (Translation: I think everybody should learn IPA.)

If you don't want to use a special alphabet, leave it as i or you can write ih.
