Looking at the Instruction Manual for Braille Transcribing NLS LOC 8.2 you can
contract between usual (minor) syllables falling within a word but not between
major ones (between prefixes or suffixes and the base word or between
components of a compound words) 4.5b(1). For example they contract the ea in
the words "permeate" and "European" in section 8.2d.

True, the rules of Braille say you don't contract across syllables, however I
believe in a footnote to this rule it says you may contract across syllables in
a proper name, like Boston or Minneapolis.
