Dia dhaoibh
Is the vowel in words such as bog, bolg, torann etc. rounded? And what about the one in scoil, doirse etc.?
Thanx

It is rounded in all these words:
[bʷɔgˠ, bʷɔlˠəgˠ, t̪ˠɔɾɔn̪ˠ, skˠɔl, d̪ˠɔɼʃɪ]

Depends on the dialect.
While "bog", "bolg", and "torann" are probably rounded everywhere; "scoil" has unrounded vowel [e] in Conamara, "doirse" is pronounced with [i] in Munster
