Re: Pronunciation

>it spells out all schwas, which take many sounds

The schwa sound is the sound in 'luck', 'duck', and
'again'.  It only has one sound, whether stressed or
not.  There are 10 pure vowel sounds in Standard
American English, and ten symbols in NUL's simplified
phonemic alphabet.  Multiphthongs are formed by using
more than one vowel symbol with a little liaison
symbol joining them.  Syllable stress is shown with an
accent mark over the stressed syllable on top of the
vowel, like the accent mark in Spanish or the aigu
accent mark in French.
