It is also called a rounded high back glide. If you mean the symbol "w", it seems to me that you could think of it as the vowel sound /u/ in words like 'few' /fyu/. It is frequently the second element of a vowel digraph (aw, ew, ow), but I'm not sure if that's what you had in mind.http://www.englishforums.com/English/Writing/kzkm/post.htmFri, 27 Mar 2009 04:53:02 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:50757Guest1http://www.englishforums.com/English/Writing/kzkm/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-50757.xmlWhen is "w" used as a vowel?
