Best Answer

Yes.

In most dialects of English, schwa is the short vowel sound heard in the majority of unstressed syllables.

The schwa sound in the word 'across' (a · cross'), occurs in the first (that is, the unstressed) syllable. Other words with the schwa sound include:

away (first syllable)

supply (first syllable)

cinema (second AND third syllables)

dogma (second syllable)

incredible (third and forth syllables)

When written phonetically, the schwa sound is most commonly rendered as 'uh'. The Internal Phonetic Association (IPA) uses the upside-down 'e' (ə) to designate the schwa sound when transcribing words phonetically.
