First syllable

k

still a monstrosity

/I/s...where the fuck did you learn to speak

note: I am not being entirely serious with the last line, but seriously, /I/!? schwa and /i/ with that stress pattern always.

It may actually be fluctuating between /I/ and /i/.

Also, sometimes the beginning is /kɑ/ instead of /ke˞/.

You're not alone! And I somewhat fluctuate between stressing the "rib" and be "be" in the word.

I noticed that rhotacized vowels are quite rare. I like them quite a bit (why I shove my conlangs full of them), but a lot of English dialects seem to be dropping them.
