There is the table of Westron in the Appendix, which gives some idea on the prouncing of vowels and consanants, for the Rohirric language is a derivative of Westron albeit an archaic form. There are also a few passages in the letters, mostly from those that I quoted in my previous post.
In the table it states that an "I" before a vowel is typically pronounced with the consanant sound of "y" as in you, yore. Although whether this was adopted in the more archaic speech of the Rohirrim I do not no. One thing is for sure being Old English, words of that ilk are usually pronounced how they are spelt. Vid-Ugav-ia Or Implementing the rule with "I". Perhaps, Vid-Ugav-ya Do not quote me, I am no expert, having only just started to embrace Tolkiens languages.
