Editing Open-mid front rounded vowel (section)

==Open-mid front compressed vowel==
The '''open-mid front compressed vowel''' is typically transcribed in IPA simply as {{angbr IPA|œ}}, which is the convention used in this article. There is no dedicated [[IPA diacritic]] for compression. However, the compression of the lips can be shown by the letter {{IPAalink|β̞}} as {{angbr IPA|ɛ͡β̞}} (simultaneous {{IPA|[ɛ]}} and labial compression) or {{angbr IPA|ɛᵝ}} ({{IPA|[ɛ]}} modified with labial compression). The spread-lip diacritic {{angbr IPA|&nbsp;&nbsp;͍ }} may also be used with a rounded vowel letter {{angbr IPA|œ͍}} as an ''ad hoc'' symbol, but 'spread' technically means unrounded.

===Features===
{{open-mid vowel}}
{{front vowel}}
{{compressed vowel}}

===Occurrence===
Because front rounded vowels are assumed to have compression, and few descriptions cover the distinction, some of the following may actually have protrusion.
