I'm assuming that the Txeqli 'o' is not rounded into 'ou' as the English 'o' is. While we're on the topic of pronunciation, I have a couple of suggestions for 'c'. The first would just be to make it [x]. It's really not that bad, and lots of languages have that sound. But another suggestion: make it 'th', and allow it to be either voiced or unvoiced as the speaker prefers. I would also suggest that Txeqli's generally nice morphology should not be messed up with digraphs, or with single letters representing clusters. -- Rob Speer
