		Whether this was a technical issue that never seemed important enough to resolve, or whether this was also in response to the reaction of the mailing list folks to the unregulated spam and bizarre cross-postings that came in from the newsgroup, I do not know.
		I have deliberately kept the list out of some general public archives because of the infrequent need to remove a posting with information that cannot be made public (a credit card number sent to the list by mistake, for example).

		The second case is that whenever we have a list with a vowel at the front then we return a list with that vowel at the front ---the rest of the list has to be determined by gathering up all the vowels from the tail of the input list.
		The second case has the meaning that the list of vowels in another list with a vowel at the front has that vowel at the front and its tail is the list of vowels found in the other list.
		The third case has the meaning that the list of vowels in another list with a consonant at the front is the list of vowels in the tail of that list.

	Vowel (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The different vowel qualities are realized in acoustic analyses of vowels by the relative values of the formants, acoustic resonances of the vocal tract which show up as dark bands on a spectrogram.
		Furthermore, in English some vowel sounds are represented by combinations of vowel letters, such as the ea in beat or by a vowel letter and an approximant letter, as the ow in how, or the er in her.
		Vowels are especially important to the structures of words in languages that have very few consonants (like Polynesian languages such as Maori and Hawaiian), and in languages whose inventory of vowels is larger than its inventory of consonants (like Sedang, a relative of Vietnamese, which contrasts 55 different vowel qualities).

		In phonetics, a vowel is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by an open configurationof the vocal tract, in contrast to consonants, which are characterized by a constriction or closure at one or more points along the vocal tract.
		Vowels usually form the peak or nucleus of a syllable, whereas consonants form the onset and coda.
		Vowels are de-voiced in whispered speech, and in Japanese, vowels that are low pitched and between voicelessconsonants are de-voiced.

	Vowel
		English has all three types: the vowel sound in hit is a monophthong [ɪ], the vowel sound in boy is in most dialects a diphthong [ɔɪ], and the vowel sounds of way [weɪ], flower (BrE [aʊə] AmE [aʊɚ]) form a triphthong (disyllabic in the latter cases), although the particular qualities vary by dialect.
		For example, the vowel sounds in a two-syllable pronunciation of the word flower (BrE [flaʊə] AmE [flaʊɚ]) phonetically form a disyllabic triphthong, but are phonologically a sequence of a diphthong (represented by the letters ) and a monophthong (represented by the letters ).

	Monophthong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A monophthong (in Greek μονόφθογγος = single note) is a "pure" vowel sound, one whose articulation at both beginning and end is relatively fixed, and which does not glide up or down towards a new position of articulation; compare diphthong.
		The position, beginnings, and endings of vowel articulation are perhaps the chief distinguishing feature among the various dialects of English; the differences between the pronunciations of British English and American English are largely a result of the different realization of vowel sounds.
		Such is the case in Sanskrit, in whose grammar the sounds now realised as /e/ and /o/ are conceptually ai and au, and are written that way in the Devanagari and related alphabets.

		Thus, syllables in Tamil are derived by a combination of twelve vowels and eighteen consonants which form a total of two hundred and sixteen different characters or otherwise called graphemes.
		Vowel sounds are produced with the tongue placed in different parts of the mouth.
		Unlike the short vowels these sounds are produced with the release of air from mouth for a slightly extended period of time than their short counterparts, and hence they are called long vowels.

	Roundedness - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In phonetics, vowel roundedness refers to the amount of rounding in the lips during the articulation of a vowel.
		In most languages, front vowels tend to be unrounded, while back vowels tend to be rounded, but some languages, such as French and German, distinguish between rounded and unrounded vowels at the same height and backness.
		In the International Phonetic Alphabet vowel chart, rounded vowels are the ones that occur on the right in each pair of vowels.

	Mlang posting from 1985
		None of the vowels are obvious except the ones that you probably call consonants anyway.
		Here they are: "Mid/back vowel series:" u "short u" as in "bud" o "short o" as in "body" 4 "aw" as in "lawn", or "a" in "park" (Same sound to me).
		Occasionally the consonant sound and the vowel sound occur together; this is one of the rare instances where one uses a doubled letter in mlang.

	E-Intro to Old English - 2. Pronunciation (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The split of one vowel into two vowels and a diphthong, which occurred before the period of our written texts, was conditioned by the sounds that surrounded it in the word (the details are complex and controversial: see Lass 1994, pp.
		The vowels of such athematic plurals as men (singular man), lice (louse) and teeth (tooth) exhibit i-mutation, as does the comparative adjective elder (old); and i-mutation accounts for most of the verbs that both change their vowels and add a past-tense ending (e.g.
		When the vowel of any syllable has undergone i-mutation, that is a sign that [i] or [j] once followed, and so c or g at the end of such a syllable should be dotted.

	LINGUIST List 6.1115: Vowels and sound symbolism
		The language had a vowel hierarchy in following order i < e < a < o < u/w (unrounded "u") which is manifest in the verbs, adjectives and measures of the language: the higher up on the hierarchy the vowel, the greater the magnitude or the intensity of the word.
		The correspondence to your system is by no means discrete, but there are similar vowel hierarchies or ordering in Japanese onomatopoeic words that describe natural sound, repetition and number, magnitude, and perceived sizes.
		There are two sets of prefixes which can be affixed to demonstrative stems; the first set consists of an [s] followed by a vowel and has definite readings, while the second set consists of a bare vowel and has indefinite readings.

	LINGUIST List 2.92: Vowels and Stress
		I said "Languages whose vowels are all schwa in unstressed syllables, presumably like English...." I am of course aware that English has more than one unstressed vowel--I don't have to search the literature for obscure dialects to get that information: in my dialect too the unstressed vowel in "tory" and "obey" is not schwa.
		But the reason that I was moved to venture such a remark is this: in pursuing this research I have gotten the impression that the idea (the "myth") that English vowels all neutralize/reduce to schwa in unstressed syllables is, though little-examined, widely assumed.
		In fact, the work on vowel reduction in Slavic languages is quite old, going back to, I believe, to the work of A. Potebnja (1835-1891) and Baudouin de Courtenay (who founded modern phonological theory).

	Kālacakra Sanskrit
		The alphabet consists of vowels and consonants which are changed and combined in many different ways to give a very large variety of possible combinations and forms.
		The vowel "ṛi" is pronounced like the English "re" in "pretty", with the longer "ṝi" or "ṛī" a longer version of the same.
		The usual list is of space, wind, fire, water and earth, but in Kālacakra the list is often extended by the addition of an element of awareness, or the "empty element".

	Vowel harmony - TyvaWiki
		You will notice in the chart that both rounded front vowels (Ү and Ө) are followed by the same set or harmonic vowels, so the high and low quality does not affect vowel harmony.
		Typically all vowels within a word need to be harmonic with the preceding vowel of the word.
		But our choice is very easy because the plural suffix uses only one of the back vowels in the list, A. As you learn the suffixes, you should study which vowels are used in front or back and round or unround forms.

	Tamil/Script - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
		The vowels are divided into short and long (five of each type) and two w:diphthongs.
		However, the signs for the syllables are derived from that of the inherent consonant; thus it is of the abugida type.
		Some syllables are written by modifying the shape of the consonant in a way that is inherent to the vowel, others are written by adding vowel-inherent suffix to the consonant, yet others a prefix, and finally some vowels require adding both a prefix and a suffix to the consonant.

	Heiman, Research Methods: Chapter 11
		Often in these studies, a list is spoken to participants which consists of a random string of single digits, and, for reliability, each participant is tested with a number of lists.
		So as not to increase the effort that participants must apply to remembering the list, they are told not to remember the zero; it is merely the signal to recall the list, and they are to otherwise ``ignore'' it.
		Because the tone is so different from the list of words, it should not produce interference, so recall of the list in the control group should exhibit the typical high recency.

		(See Vowel roundedness for illustrations.) Swedish is one of the few languages where this feature is contrastive, having both protruded-lip and compressed-lip high front vowels.
		Therefore, they are also known as checked vowels, whereas the tense vowels are called free vowels since they can occur in any kind of syllable.
		English has all three types: the vowel sound in hit is a monophthong [ɪ], the vowel sound in boy is in most dialects a diphthong [ɔɪ], and the vowel sounds of, flower (BrE [aʊə] AmE [aʊɚ]) form a triphthong (disyllabic in the latter cases), although the particular qualities vary by dialect.
