I added a discussion regarding Ëë because it lists u in up and a in
above as examples which are very different vowels (u=ʌ a=ə). Notably,
the u in up is the same vowel as the *o* in above.*

* Silly jokes about places up north where "up" is pronounced like German,
  and above sometimes being pronounced ay-bove may also apply.
