Is this meant to be phonetic, or phonemic? In a non-rhotic American dialect I'm familiar with (but don't speak), [sO] = saw, but [sO@] = soar. I've never heard anyone say [pa@t] and would probably hear it as an extreme non-rhotic version of "parrot". -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org You tollerday donsk? N.
