In these pages, I usually call the 'schwa' click to hear the 'voiceless, unstressed E.' The Dutch word for it is
'stomme E' click to hear 2
or 'toonloze E' click to hear
I'd rather call it 'niet-beklemtoonde E' click to hear ('unstressed E') but that's a mouthful.
How about 'doffe E' click to hear 2 ('dull E') - but who am I?
