schwu

名词 n.

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. An indeterminate near-close central rounded vowel sound, such as the "u" in "awful" or the initial "o" in "omission", depending on the accent; sometimes represented as [[[ɵ]]] in IPA or [[[ᵿ]]] in para-IPA.
    — Reflecting this loss of contrast, Wells uses schwi (the so-called ‘happy-vowel’) and schwu (weak-u), replacing [ɪ] and [ʊ] and giving [ˈhæpiə] and [ˈdʒæɡuə].
