How do you pronounce riving?

[Rich Engelhardt]

I - as in river or
I - as in tiger?

I've heard it both ways?

[Jamie Buxton]

I pronounce it with a long i, as in rise. For what it is worth, Webster's also gives that pronunciation.

[Rod Sheridan]

It comes from rive........(to split) so it's pronounced the same as hive.

Does anyone split shingles anymore, I mean for a living not just a couple for a quick repair?
