Something like [j&@], but [@] isn't quite right, it's more of a drift
*towards* schwa, but not actually reaching there. The exact
pronunciation depends on the context, and there's sometimes so
nasalization involved. Frequently, it'll be more of a gliding motion
from [j] to [&] and then up and back a bit.
