-*The Sirahda accent has a "trap-bath split" reminiscent of RP, but its distribution is more like the phonemic tense-a system in Philadelphian English. Stressed /a/ usually shifts to [ɑ], but is instead pronounced [ɛː] before /mC nC f v s z θ ð/. Monosyllabic function words do not use tense [ɛː]. For example:
-**''jamb, rrand, mand'' [jɛːmp, r̥ɛːnt, mɛːnt] 'to whine, wall, to take'
-**''saþ'' /saθ/ 'salty' is pronounced [sɛːθ], but ''baþa'' 'gun' is pronounced [pɑθə].
 *Stressed /i/ and /u/ also lengthen to [i:] and [u:] before /mC nC/ sequences.
 **For example, ''frindu'' 'music' is pronounced [fri:ndʉ].
