What does it say? >>
For /a/ it says, just like you said, the "a" in "father" (they give the
"o" in "hot"). For /a/ with the accent it says (and this I can't wrap my
brain around) "like the 'u' in 'hut', only longer". That seemed very
far-fetched to me. And it says the o's are the "aw" in "paw" (obviously
open-mid back rounded), one short one long. You say close mid, though, which
I was more inclined to believe... Anyway, maybe it's dialectical.
