I find that impossible. I am completely unable to make these two
words have the same vowel sound without making each of them
unrecognizable. How do you do it? >>
That's the point of pure vowels in a sense, they're recognizable. The
modification of vowels in the lower portion of the female voice especially
makes them unrecognizable. This is not a vowel line, but a variation of the
schwa phoneme line.
