Dear Pere,
I pronounce Herodium and Masada with the strong accent at the second
syllable. Her_od_ium and Ma_sa_da. The latter is the pronunciation given in
Webster's Dictionary. Webster's does not list Herodium. It lists Herod with
the accent on the first syllable, _Her_od, but this would change with the
added syllables. The way I pronounce Herodium with an accented second
syllable is what I have always heard.
Yours,
Harold
