Difficult Symbols Practice: KEY
Note: Some answers (10, 11, 20, 23, and others) have a small vertical
stroke under an [r], [l], or [n] in the second syllable of the word. This means
that that consonant is the nucleus of the syllable; there is no vowel in the syllable.
If you transcribe these with a schwa symbol followed by the consonant symbol,
that is acceptable (see #34).
