How many syllables does wharves has?
I don't know if this would vary from region to region, but I live in New England and I say it with 1 syllable.
1. i know this because you can clap to it that is how you can find your syllables. GLEAM, if you can do one clap before you can sound out the rest that means there's only one.
I believe that there is only one syllable in the word goat (according to the Revised Scholastic Children's dictionary.)
