      To transcribe the vowel sounds in the words using British Received Pronunciation (RP) phonetic symbols, we can use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Here are the phonetic transcriptions for the underlined vowel sounds in each word:

      i. fellow

      • Vowel sound: /ɛ/
      • Phonetic symbol: /ˈfɛləʊ/

      ii. women

      • Vowel sound: /ɪ/
      • Phonetic symbol: /ˈwɪmɪn/

      iii. brother

      • Vowel sound: /ʌ/
      • Phonetic symbol: /ˈbrʌðə/

      iv. surface

      • Vowel sound: /ɜː/
      • Phonetic symbol: /ˈsɜːfɪs/

      v. outside

      • Vowel sound: /aʊ/
      • Phonetic symbol: /ˈaʊtsaɪd/

      Note: The slashes (/ /) indicate phonemic transcription, and the square brackets ([ ]) indicate phonetic transcription using IPA symbols. Each word is transcribed based on the standard pronunciation in British Received Pronunciation (RP).
