Hm... Here in American cow country, we call them her-ferds. But my
British-accented Orca pronounces it her-uh-ford, which is probably more
proper. I'm not sure if I would be confused encountering it in Braille
either way... But I guess the contraction that represents the proper
pronounciation would be the one that counts? :)

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,
