Ay, that's hou A tak it.

While oo'r on the fichery bits o phonetics, A wad say an aa that the soonds
oo uizually write [u] an [o] in SAMPA's for Scots better written in the IPA
wi a horizontal bar throu them (like the RTF "Strikeoot" effect) tae shaw
they're central raither nor back (this is true in Lowden Scots, onyroads -
A'd think it wis true in maist Scots, tho). Uizin the IPA seembols athoot
the bar (i.e., juist [u] & [o]) wad be ettlin at a richt poot whan sayin
thae soonds, like happens in French, but it's no like that in Scots.
