The word "herdings" is not a commonly used term, but it can be spelled as /ˈhɜːdɪŋz/. The initial sound is a voiceless "h" followed by the long "u" sound represented by "er". Then comes the "d" sound followed by the vowel "i" and the nasal "ng". Finally, the letter "s" indicates the plural form. In terms of meaning, "herdings" could refer to a gathering of herds or animals, but its usage is quite rare in English.
