It can only appear between vowels if we're to adhere to English limits on its appearance. So we can't have hV. In short, a not very productive weak. If we go with this otherwise, I'd say, pending using some nonASCII stuff, we need for x /Z/ dx /dZ/ c /S/ tc /tS/ And with that, I'd endorse this version. And, we can deal with the vowel problem without the apostrophe this way: tia /tja/ tiia /ti a/ tua /twa/ tuua /tu a/ The second i and second u becoming semivowels. -- >PLEASE NOTE MY NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS: rmay@hidden.email > Rex F.
