Almost all of the words that end in AY with an "ay" sound (bay, day, hay, say) are at the end of a syllable. It is the AI words that often do not (gain, sail, maim).

Other words that have a long A sound are spelled with EY, including obey, prey, and grey. Also words from French that end in E, EE, or ET have a long A sound, such as cafe, soiree, gourmet, buffet.

When does the y have a long i sound?

It usually has a long I when preceded by a consonant (by, my, nylon, python) and in a stressed syllable. In words with single F-Y it is always a long I sound, and in words made with the word BY. When paired with a vowel (A, E, O) the Y forms a diphthong sound (AY=A EY=A or E, OY= OI). With U, it may be an I sound (buy, guy) or an E (soliloquy). Examples of Y as I: fly, cry bylaw, hereby dye, lye, rye defy, rely buy, guy
