Vocalised r

The so-called 'Lehrerschwa' is also used in the DUDEN, though again not completely consistently. We modify in so far as we lay down that /6/ has to be used whenever /r/ would follow immediately after a vowel within a syllable. An exception to this rule is after /a/, here remains /r/.

Example: 6 Lehrer l'e:r6
  i:6 Bier b'i:6
  I6 Schirm S'I6m
  y:6 Tür t'y:6
  Y6 N''urnberg n'Y6nb''E6k
  e:6 der d'e:6
  E6 verkehrt fE6k'e:6t
  E:6 w''ar v'E:6
  2:6 BurgerKing b'2:6g6k''IN
  96 W''orter v'96t6
  u:6 Uhr Q'u:6
  U6 durch d'U6C
  o:6 vor f'o:6
  O6 Information QInfO6matsj'o:n
       
But:   Bar ba:r
    Mark mark
    mehrere m'e:r@r@
    w''are v'E:r@
    Brauerei braU@r'aI
As the counterexamples show /r/ has to be used instead of /6/ as soon as /r/ forms the onset of the next syllable ('wär' vs 'wäre', 'mehr' vs 'mehrere', 'Brauer' vs 'Brauerei').
