Background

The variant vowel /o/ spellings a and aw, as in ball, walk, and saw are fairly reliable in terms of the sound they represent. They represent the /ah/ vowel sound. The other letter combinations that make the same vowel sound include o as in toss, augh as in caught, and ough as in thought.
