Abstract
Within the history of the International Phonetic Alphabet there is a fifty‐to‐sixty year segment that concerns the symbolization of the r‐colored vowels which may occur in a word like further. This article recounts one of the two major portions of this segment of IPA history, as it is revealed, chiefly, by the practices of contributors to Le Maitre Phonetique from 1889 to 1926. In sum, the picture which emerges is one of heterogeneous improvisation involving at least a score of stressed vowel symbolizations and some half‐dozen unstressed notations.
