As there is no official diacritic for compression in the IPA, the spread-lip diacritic ⟨ ͍ ⟩ will be used here with the rounded vowel ⟨ʉ⟩ as an ad hoc symbol. Other possible transcriptions are ⟨ɨ͡β̞⟩ (simultaneous and labial compression) and ⟨ɨᵝ⟩ ( modified with labial compression).

Famous quotes containing the words close, central, compressed and/or vowel:
“Then, with eyes that saw not, I kissed her;

Folded close under deepening snow.”

“In a large university, there are as many deans and executive heads as there are schools and departments. Their relations to one another are intricate and periodic; in fact, “galaxy” is too loose a term: it is a planetarium of deans with the President of the University as a central sun. One can see eclipses, inner systems, and oppositions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
“Give up the belief that mind is, even temporarily, compressed within the skull, and you will quickly become more manly or womanly. You will understand yourself and your Maker better than before.”
—Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
“Brute animals have the vowel sounds; man only can utter consonants.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
