Does the word alone have a schwa at beginning or end?

The word "alone" does not have a schwa sound at the beginning or the end.

Here's why:

* Schwa sound: The schwa sound (ə) is a very short, unstressed vowel sound. It's often found in unstressed syllables.

* "Alone" pronunciation: The word "alone" is pronounced with a long "o" sound (əˈloʊn). The "a" is stressed, and there's no unstressed syllable at the end.

Therefore, there's no schwa sound in the word "alone".
