          Nope, I’ve only heard 𐑕𐑒𐑢𐑻𐑤 and 𐑥𐑰𐑮𐑼

          You must have only ever met those really weird Appalachian folks that apparently retained most of Shakespeare’s English

              Isn’t your accent the one that pronounces r as some mutation of a german ü sound‽

              Does any non received r just sound like a stroke to you people‽
