Yes, I have also thought of using c for /Z/ and x for
/S/. So we can choose:

option 1 - c /S/, x /Z/ - tc /tS/, dx /dZ/

Frech 'ch' /tS/
Sanskrit transcription 'c' /tS/
Lojban 'c' /S/
Albanian xh for /dZ/


option 2 - c /Z/, x /S/ - dc /dZ/, tx /tS/

Turkish 'c' /dZ/
Catalan, Basque, Portuguese 'x' /S/
Pinyin 'x' /c<curled>/ (kind of sh sound)

Well, I think the choice is a bit subjective here.
'John' and 'Charles' would give 'Dxan' and 'Tcarlz'
using option 1, and 'Dcan' and 'Txarlz' using
option 2.

Votes?
I think mine goes to option 1.

Best regards,
Javier
