The Letter y
The letter y before a vowel is usually a consonant, /j/. After a consonant it is usually a vowel.

Here. Peculiarly /pɪˈkjuː.ljə.li/

Mark The Stressed Syllable
When a word has more than one syllable, the primary stress marker must be placed before the stressed syllable. It is wrong to write /lɔː.jə/ without the stress marker.
lawyer /ˈlɔː.jə/
Here. Peculiarly /pɪˈkjuː.ljə.li/

Stress Mark Replaces The Dot
Do not place a syllable boundary marker where the stress marker appears. /ðeɪ.ə.naʊ.ˈhɪə/ is not acceptable.
They are now here /ðeɪ.ə.naʊˈhɪə/
Here. Peculiarly /pɪˈkjuː.ljə.li/
