Interesting.  For both words in I, I use /A/, in II, I use /o/ (with an
allophonic difference from words like "so", it seems to be a
monophthong, unless you consider the /r/ to be an off-glide, with what I
think is slight pharyngealization) for "Lord", "Mormon", and "for", but
/A/ for "fault" and "all", and /A/ for all but "what" in III.  What uses
/@/.
