My reasoning is that if you have a single symbol for 'ts,' then you also must have one for 'tS,' 'dz', 'dZ,' 'ks,' 'gz,' etc. Now, I can see Txeqli _expanding- in the future, to include other letters for other sounds. At this point in technology, tho, it has to be limited to the 26. I could also see it adopting the Shavian system entirely. -- >PLEASE NOTE MY NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS: rmay@hidden.email > Rex F.
