[2_w] is contradictory. [2] itself is a rounded vowel. If you need to
distinguish between less rounded and more rounded vowel, you should use [_c] for
less r. and [_O] for more r. In IPA they are left half and right half of a ring
below respectively.
Especially taking into account that it may be a dialectal feature:
- quoting Andreas Johansson :
