(I'm re-posting this since someone closed it without addressing any of the issues here.)

For your reference: in my file of errata for cmudict, I have SUTTER, BENTEN, HARRIS, HARRIS' HARRIS'S, and NABIL marked as erroneous. The final vowel of SUTTER seems to be wrong, the second vowel of BENTEN is marked as IH0 but a word with that pronunciation (written benten and pronounced ben-teen) doesn't seem to exist, and all of the HARRIS entries have EH1 as the first vowel, as if "hay-ris". NABIL is missing the final L sound, but this name seems to have an L sound:

My post does point out that these "seem to be" wrong so I haven't supplied corrections. However, at your request, here is what I have.

Harris should probably be HH AE1 R IH0 S. HARRIS'S should probably also be HH AE1 R IH0 S IH0 Z. I don't know if BENTEN is a real word, as noted, but if it is then perhaps it should be B EH1 N T EH0 N. I have SUTTER as S AH1 T AH, but that is not correct for CMUDict. I don't need the rhotic r so I have discarded it. NABIL should probably be N AA0 B IY1 L with an L.

Please check these or get someone to check them.

Thank you very much, but I won't post again on this thread.
