So you were trying to do a 'fully' precise transcription of _router_ in
(some dialect of) american, is that it?

  I wanted to give a phonetic description with the same level of
  detail as Wells or Canepari. (But I was kind of stuck because
  a lot of Canepari's special symbols aren't in Unicode.)

The hypothesis that he didn't know the half length marker is
just not tenable.
