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).
