Re: About the {{ ' }}



Here's my best description:
Take "uh-oh"/ To pronounce the second " ' " in /'e'/, say "uh-oh" 
without the "oh". You get a somewhat interupted word, "uh-". Now to say 
the first " ' ". Hold your breath, then suddenly let it out with a 
grunt, as if you were hit in the stomach. you get the last half of 
uh-oh: "-oh". So to correctly pronounce /'e'/, you must let out air 
fairly forcefully, as in "-oh", then quickly and abruptly stop the air, 
as in "uh-". Basically, it is "-e-".
