I think (a) you don't know what <&> means -- it's the low front vowel

No, it stands for the near-open vowel between <E> and <a>.

No doubt you mean [E] and [a].


I do indeed. Thank you.

Which, in my phonetics classes and everywhere else, is the low front
vowel -- [E] being mid front and [a] being low central.

Nonetheless, Ruud referred to [a] being fronter than [&], which it
isn't under either description (the geometric or the featural).
