How would you pronounce these words?

<<What about "attorney", "journey", "learn", "lurker", "term", and "worm"?>>

As with Uriel and Kirk, they all have [3`] for me.

But intervocalically, I do preserve the distinction between [3`] and [Vr\]:

furry - [f3`i]
stirring - [st3`IN]

vs.

hurry - [hVr\i]
flurry - [flVr\i]
curry - [kVr\i]
Surrey - [sVr\i]
courage - [kVr\IdZ]
flourish - [flVr\IS]

It might take some time to load up because of bandwidth issues. If this happens, wait a while and then try reloading.
