Under some phonological analyses of English. Most phonologists I know would probably use wedge for most of these, since they’re stressed.

I came here to say this. A bunch of these vowels are definitely pronounced with a wedge. Even tried intentionally pronuncing the stressed vowels with a schwa, and it’s noticeably, jarringly off.
