The latter choice in both cases.

When I was studying Linguistics at SIU Carbondale we had a Professor 
(Kyle Perkins)
who pronounced "larynx" as "larnix".

AND, needless to say, when I program I subvocalise everything as I go along.

Do you pronounce FIELD
    Rhimes with "filled"
    Rhimes with "feeled"

Do you spell "rhyme" with a "y" or an "i" ?
