vowels: Welsh vowels

Description

This contains the main data for the vowels. Each row is a word token (not a vowel! This is not quite tidy data, but since we mostly work with the stressed vowels it saves a lot of boilerplate. Packages like reshape2 or tidy can be used to kick this into shape). There are all sorts of measures given, including word, various phonological characteristics of the context, and durational properties.
