Do you have an example where those phonemes contrast? That is, examples
which show they are not allophones of a single phoneme?
I've been wondering because I like distinguishing between [V] and [@]
but people had so far convinced me that the difference is not phonemic
(being conditioned by stress). Hearing that they *are* phonemic in some
dialect sounds interesting.
