Peak ERB^a	24.73	2.53	23.45	5.87	25.5	2.12	24	N/A	22.1	2.85	21.27	3.52
Compactness Index^a	0.17	0.01	0.18	0.03	0.22	0.01	0.21	N/A	0.19	0.02	0.20	0.02

Note: the distribution of transcription categories in front and back-vowel contexts did not differ significantly at the conventional α < 0.05 level, though it did approach significance, χ2_[df=5,n=114] = 9.198, p = 0.101.
