I meant low back -- the one that I can't make on my computer but that
[a] is sometimes used for (though I think of [a] as the sound of my
pronunciation of the pronoun I, not as the ah sound of father --
that's the sound I'm talking about -- the one with the non-print little
a symbol -- like "open your mouth and go ahhhh").
