Hi folks,

Scheherezade is an alternate spelling of Scheherazade. It's used very
rarely; I have no examples in my Web-Braille books and only one
example in the several hundred print books on my machine. It isn't in
WordNet or Wiktionary. But it is on dictionary.com so it is a valid
word.

I don't think it ought to use the here sign. The syllabification is
Sche-her-e-zade.

I'm on firmer ground with Houghton:

 ,h|<ton ,mi6l91 #cab-ac
"|     "|n't     ,h|<ton
,h{"e1 ! 3trac;n %d n 2 us$ 9 .,h|<ton
9 .,h|<ton .,mi6l9 or .,h|<ton1
,d n use .ought 9 .,h|<ton
    ,houghton ,h|<ton
,hough-ton ,h|<ton
