Allied – For this word:  the “A” is short;  the “ll” combination is pronounced simply like the single letter “l” (this is the standard pronunciation of this letter combination in The Common Tongue);  the “i” is long;  and since the root-word ends with the letter “y” (converted to an “i” for the addition of the “-ed” ending) – the “e” of the “-ed” ending is silent, and the final “d” is a flap-d, but is often stopped.
