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,
