The third phoneme is of course the voiced labiodental fricative. The first vowel (and second phoneme) appears to be an open unrounded vowel somewhere between central and back. It's in a spectrum between cot, caught, and father--in my dialect, all of those are essentially merged but you can perceive slight distinctions between the vowels if you listen hard enough. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E.
