Are there any words pronounced with an unstressed short monophthong at the end of word that are not /ə/?

Following my question Are there any words in English pronounced with /e/ at the end? I was wondering if there are any words pronounced with an unstressed short monophthong at the end of word that are not /ə/? The only words I could think of were "aqua", "alpha", etc., however, when I looked them up in the Macquarie Dictionary (excellent Australian dictionary, although admittedly phonemic rather than phonetic) it has them listed as /ˈækwə/, /ˈælfə/, etc. Wiktionary also has them as /ˈækwə/ (UK) and /ˈæɫfə/. Other words: bee /b/, taxi /ˈtæk.s/, do /d/, go /ɡ/, emu /ˈiːmj/. In Australian English these are all either diphthongs or long monophthongs (Wiktionary lists some of these as short monophthongs for US accents).

The reason for all these questions is for teaching people with a different phoneme inventory how to pronounce different languages closer to a native speaker, whether English-to-Other or Other-to-English.


Solution 1:

How about "eerie"? Wiktionary has this listed as /ˈɪəri/. This would make "Siri" a word as well, though it is a name.

Solution 2:

happy.

spa. In American English, the vowel matches the short "o" in rock, not the schwa in "ruck". Similarly, "ma", "pa", and "da", but not "momma" or "poppa".

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spa lists the following words as rhyming with spa: bra and schwa.

spaghetti.
