kwere
The above sounds like with "air" or "bear"? I have heard this pronunciation but that has not happened frequently.
kwire
The above sounds like "clear" or "fear"? This is who I pronounce and nearly everyone I know and have met.
kwôre
The above sounds like "core" or "bore"? I have never heard it pronounced like that.
Interesting on the first one, it should not sound like air or fair. It is more like a soft e sound than an a sound. And this is the style I hear 90% of the time.
The leer jet query is really harsh on the ears. You might say it is leery.
We may need to have sound bites posted in order to solve this debate. Of course be "fear"ful of my "beer"y way of saying query, it may sound too to "eerie" for you. 😛

It's pronounced "magic fairy dust" around these parts 🙂

That's the stuff sprinkled onto footballers on the field by medics. After five minutes writhing on the ground clutching one shin or the other (sometimes inexplicably switching) and gurning like a good 'un, they suddenly leap into the air as if recharged. Magic Fairy Dust. Found at all Dances of the Prancing Lawn Fairies. Did I just say that? I meant football matches.

OMG. That was on a TNG rerun this weekend. 🙂

Heh - I remember that one. That was Dr. Pulaski talking to Data. I don't remember the name of the episode, but I think it was the first one where she appeared. I liked Dr. Crusher's character better.

Not knowing much about football, do the players have to take acting lessons? 😀

Well, obviously the ones who switch from holding one leg to holding the other when in fact it was a grasping hand clinging onto their shirt which brought them down. Some of them are naturals.

I'm certain that can be achieved. The query I'm trying to tune takes 7 min per execution, so I have time.
