Hi Dave,

I too would have thought that here was a single syllable, but according to dictionary.com it is, or sometimes is, two syllables in the words Hereford etc. I'm no expert in trying to read IPA spellings but it appears that it can be pronounced her-uh-ford.

Here's the syllabification in a BANA-produced training manual: Instruction Manual for Braille Transcribing:

,her-e-ford ,h}e=d

HTH,
