Close, it’s a TH not a YE sound. My sick-brained explanation probably confused you hahah. The “ye” you see on old signs is a byproduct of the shift. We phased out the thorn character, and replaced it with a y during that period. So “ye olde tavern” would be pronounced “the old tavern”.
To use the example you gave, it’d be “either the boulder”.
So is this supposed to be pronouced “eiyeer ye boulder”
Lol Feel like decoding.
