Enclitics are indubitable clitics and firmly atonic, and their schwa has higher, more centralized, and less distinct vocalism. The enclitic chaining/coordinating conjunction ='a usually has an elided vowel, but whatever vowel quality can be heard after the glottal stop is at least as high as IPA [\].
