A Proposed Latin-1 vowel notation
From: | BP Jonsson <bpj@...> |

FRONT CENTR BACK
-R +R -R +R -R +R
HIGH i y ï ü û u
MIDHI e ø î õ o
MIDLOW ë ö ê ô ã å
LOW æ ä a â
It is assumed e.g. that ï ü can be used also for the vowels in English KIT
and FOOT respectively.
NB I'm not all happy with the unsystematic use of ^, but signs with ^ are
generallly more back and/or lower. Perhaps ë and ê should swap places?
