Comments

• Row and column labels are partly my own, reflecting widespread descriptive practice among linguists.  The IPA does not label all the rows and columns of its chart.
• ^f is the value of this symbol in the Cardinal Vowel system; i.e. a front vowel
• ^c is the value of this symbol as commonly used by linguists; i.e. a central vowel.
