I forget the linguistic name for that ‘e’ character.
******************************
The upside down e (ə) represents “schwa,” which is a vowel sound in an unstressed syllable where the vowel doesn’t make its own long or short sound. Examples:
2nd a and u - abacus (ˈa-bə-kəs)
e - problem (ˈprä-bləm)
i and y - analysis (ə-ˈna-lə-səs)
2nd o - bottom (ˈbä-təm)

Our daughter and I both earned Master’s degrees in Education of the Deaf/Hearing Impaired.😍 She began with the Communication Disorders route while I started out in Special Education. I eventually switched over to 7th-grade Math but still taught all the “inclusion” SpEd kids.😍)
schwa it is. I have been away from all of that too long.😌✔ Thanks...
You deserve a medal, lyby.
