Questions for GWS Lexicographers

Vonnie Kolbenschlag writes:
The words I wonder about "in these parts" are:
  • Idea: Why is it pronounced as if it has an 'l' as the last letter. For example someone might say, I have an ideal it may rain.
  • Holt: Why is the word "hold" often pronounced as if it ends in a "t." For example someone might say, I got holt of the rope
