>>the only pronunciation (other than the spelling-pronunciation you mention)
>>I've heard is /gla:mz/, one syllable.  I've heard it often, from Scots and
>>older English folk.  But nowadays you hear Fotheringay just as spelled,


I've asked around, it's [gla:mz]... the [a] being a typewriter IPA a -
slightly lower and backer than American [ae] (ash).  I've heard the vowel as
long, although it really is not in lengthening position for Scottish
English.
