Ok, you gave the IPA description, in Sampa its /E/ then. That's precise enough. However, the description by using `red' is, as always with English examples, not correct for all dialects and confusing for me. E.g. adapted from a (strange?) British dialect, I have /e/ there: /red/, not /rEd/. **Henrik
