How do you pronounce 'Hera'

[RnB]

Is it HEER-A or HAIR-A or something else?

argh!

Here-a

Or
Ear-a.

Haven't read the thread, but am right.

I know a Heera (Hear-a) It's lovely :)

Have now read thread. Blimy- I'm Greek and didn't even realise!

This is specially for GetOrf - for future reference, I have found that most Greek origin words in English* that begin with 'he' NOT 'hae' are 'ita' (H) in Greek and originally pronounced 'ee'.

Hope that helps!

*possibly also in Englush

I blame Mrs Biddle in the top class in infants for mispronouncing Hera when she was reading us Greek myths in class.

I am not entirely sure why she decided to read us 7 year olds stories about Zeus turning into a shower of gold to impregnate someone, and his wife Hera being furious about it.

OP just call the baby Juno and be done with the arguments.

at goml.

Did the Romans pronounce their J's though?

I would have said Her - ah. We were told to physically phonetically pronounce ancient languages when we were at school.

Is Heerah not a character from thundercats?

Please ignore the physically in that post. Damn phone.

Lol @ GetOrf!
(Juno is in fact my no 1 choice but can't convince dp)

Anyone gone for 'hayra' yet? That's how I always hear it in my head, despite knowing that it's 'heera'.

JSJ Isn't that She-Ra??

Eeera
Drop the H
