Words such as bar, car, and start are not considered 'short a' words but are indicated by an "umlaut A" symbol where the A is said to be "R-shaped." It appears in one pronunciation of the word "father" as a British English homophone of the word "farther" because the R is not heard (fah-thuh).
Similarly, there is a long A sound followed by an R that is called a caret A, which is the "air" sound in US English (fair, care).
