But if we could drop glides, we could have <y> available to produce: <dy> /dZ/ <ty> /tS/ <sy> /S/ You can have that and keep the glides - that's what
the Japanese Ministry of Education does:
ya yu yo sya syu syo - they should have adopted syi
as well instead of using "si" for [Si];
tya tyu tyo - they should have adopted tyi as well
for "ti" = [tSi];
sya syu syo - they should have adopted syi as well
for "si" = [Si];
But then we'd have to decide what to do with <x>. Ray>> You'll still need a digrafigilo letter
to represent as digraphs those sounds from other languages that are not
represented by the ones you have for Chenli/Chenhli/Chenxli/Cheqli/Qenli/Qenhli/Qenxli/Cenhli/Cenxli/Ceqli/Txenli/Txeqli

away with common sounds like "w" and "y"!
