Hmmm, maybe its an ear difference.  Interesting.  When I listen to 
Jim Dale, I hear "Her Mah Nee" as a three syllable word (accent on 
Mah - rhymes with "say 'ah' for the doctor") instead of "Her My O 
Nee" as a four syllable word (accent on My, half accent on O.)

By contrast, to my ears, the english reader spoke a clear "Her My O 
Nee."

What do you hear?
