>I had to get more precise with my question: When I ask them how _they_ would pronounce in a family environment, they pronounce it as "hero".  More accurately, they pronounce it, as best as I describe, "(g)hero" (small fraction of "g" - large fraction of "h") - this is not something that I can pronounce.  Also, definite "e" vs "i" or "y".

If I ever ordered a jiero here I'd get looked at real funny Andy.  Your (g)hero
description is close, just think hyearo, and you're right gyros are good!  I
had a problem with the pronunciation in 1977 but now I've got it down pat.  I
like mine done as a gyro plate.  That's with the meat, pita, onions, tzatziki
and tomatoes served separately.  A generous sprinkling of good Hungarian
paprika definitely adds to the flavor.
