>A *stressed schwa!?
Sure, up here they're all stressed from being so overworked.
Aks shirley, we're known for rising intonation, and, IMHO, we don't stress that syllable. Having said the word dozens of times in the last few minutes, I'm stil convinced it's a schwa there - the word comes out like "an-tschwa-pscwha-DEEZ.
