My versions of JNW's strange words.

  • * Phonemically equivalent to JNW’s version
  • † JNW’s version is irregular and unusual
  • ‡ My version is irregular and unusual

[ʌ]

  • strawberry† - [stʃɹoːbɹi], [stʃɹoːbɹi]‡

[ɛ]

  • catch‡ - [kʰætʃ]
  • that‡ - [ðæt], [ðət]

[ʌj]

(In this section, I won't mark equivalence or divergence as it's a split. Note that the two versions imd are just allophones caused by a following voiceless consonant; this behavior is very common imd and I don't show it or comparble non-phonemic cases in other sections.)

  • eyes - [ɑˑez]
  • bide - [bɑˑed]
  • ice - [ɑes]
  • bite - [bɑet]
    • Idaho, Ida [ɑˑe]
    • cider, spider [ɑˑe]
    • icon [ɑe], nikon [ɪ], daikon [ɑe]
    • cyclops, psycho [ɑe]
    • life [lɑef] → lives [lɑˑevz]
  • high, high school [ɑˑe]
  • ‘I scream’ [ɑˑe], ‘icecream’ [ɑe]

[Æ]

(Again, it's hard to make a claim of eqivalence or divergence due to the split/merger in JNW's English.)

    • Al - [æːɫ]
