Best Answer

'Lily' is an English equivalent of 'lys' [Liliumspp].

The masculine nouns 'lys' and 'lis' mean 'lily'. They each have as their singular definite article 'le'['the']. They each have as their singular indefinite article 'un' ['a, one'].

But whatever the spelling, each is pronounced 'lees'.
