schwa: The faint vowel sound in many unstressed syllables in the English language. It is signified by the pronunciation "uh" and represented by the symbol upside down e. For example, the e in overlook, the a in forgettable, and the o in run-of-the-mill.
It is the most common vowel sound in the English language.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wildÂ
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.
