Oh, I like it, too.  It's neat and instinctive.
But here's the rub ? If it's a single phoneme,
then, logically, so should dj and ts and pf
and kx be phonemes, as they are the same
brand, all affricates.  And if they are phonemes,
they should each be symbolized by a single
character ? And I _don't_ want hats on these
things.  I'd never be able to show my face at
Auxlang again.
