A-schwa
"A-schwa" in a Sentence (2 examples)
Fact is that non-low vowels before /R/ are lowered or form falling diphthongs with an a-schwa, which apparently calls for a spreading analysis.
Similar to German, the a'''-schwa plural suffix may combine with Umlaut, and Umlaut can also be the only plural marker (i.e. "combine with zero").
