Dear Russian-speaking SEELANGers;

In the entry for _rot_ the Orfoepicheskij slovar' russkogo jazyka gives 
the phrase _vo rtu_, which is obviously syllabified _vor.tu_, two 
vowels, two syllables.  It also gives the phrase _v raskrytom rtu_.  
There are four vowels, so there must be four syllables.  Could 
someone please tell me what the third syllable sounds like?

Spasibo zaranee,

Frank Y. Gladney
