This vowel team says /ŏ/, as in “fawn”, as in a baby deer, and is most commonly used in the middle or end of a syllable or word. 

/ŏ/, /ŏ/, /ŏ/, fawn

Vowel team AW rarely acts like a vowel team at the beginning of words, except where the word is related to “awe” or “awkward”. 

When A and W are at the beginning of a word, A is usually acting as a prefix and the W is the onset of a new syllable, as in “awake”, or “away”.
