this is a lesson on my IPA transcriptions.

Generally, the IPA is pretty un-vague (it's hard to be vague when every symbol represents one thing), but the IPA can be pretty confusing, so i'd like to explain the IPA (for this language at least). Onto the explaining.

Since this language doesn't "officially" have the /ʌ/ vowel, it is interchangeable with /ə/.

An "allophone" is a phoneme that isn't considered grammatically distinct, an example in this language is /θ/ and /ð/, these are phonetically distinct sounds, but not grammatically distinct in this language, use whichever one is easier and more comfortable, since there's no grammatical distinction, you don't have to consistently use one or the other.

Because of ꞃ, a special IPA symbol is needed, so it will need to be marked as "rⓀ", but because this sound is impossible for humans, it may be substituted with /r̥/ or /|.|/ (not to be confused with /!!/ or /‖/)

Ᵹ isn't actually a human language sound, so it's impossible for me to transcribe, but it is the 'water drop' sound (look it up on youtube). Due to it being impossible to transcribe with the IPA, it will remain written as Ᵹ even in the IPA transcription.
