Notes:

• ⟨w⟩ is preferred to ⟨ŵ⟩ as the sounds are not contrastive in most dialects of English;
• ⟨q⟩ should only be used where indicating the presence of a glottal stop is particularly important;
• The reduced vowels can all be represented by ⟨ë⟩; and,
• In the reduced vowel + liquid/nasal consonant pairs (/ər/, /ən/, /əm/ and /əl/), the ⟨ë⟩ in parentheses is needed only when necessary to prevent ambiguity (e.g. sentr [centre] but sentëriŋ [centring]).
