[edit] How's Gifford pronounced?

Does anybody who lives there, or in the neighbourhood, know whether Gifford is pronounced (locally) with a hard (velar) g-, i. e. as in get, or with a soft (palatal) one, i. e. as in gentle?

Thank you very much.

Gifford is pronounced with a hard 'G'. This is in common with most British place-names where there is an 'I' or 'E' after the initial 'G' or 'C', as opposed to "latinate" pronunciation. Brendandh 19:03, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
