Then forgive me, Michael, for I have sinned.  I just sent in to Mark a 
Deseret Alphabet transcription that uses [i].  In my defense, I tend to 
find short, unstressesd vowels hard to tell apart in many English 
words.  I really don't know what vowel I use in "universe."  And the DA 
doesn't have a true schwa symbol, anyway.
