This is typical of vowel reduction.For typographic convenience, the breve is sometimes used for a non-syllabic vowel (that is, part of a diphthong), which is officially indicated by a similar diacritic placed under the vowel letter, as in eye [aɪ̯]. It is also sometimes used for flap consonants which do not have dedicated symbols in the IPA, since a flap is in effect a very brief stop. However, the diacritic may be found either on the symbols for stops, or on approximants or fricatives such as ⟨w̆⟩, ⟨v̆⟩, or ⟨ʟ̆⟩."@en }
