Seeing the actual text spelled with "ee ay ah oh oo", to make it "easy" for anglophones, comes close. << Agreed. Although I did just that (or an imitated pronunciation, anyway) for my Jameld microphrasebook, that was for the benefit of my non-linguistically-minded local friends; I did a separate IPA version as well. Both are on the website, so casual and/or scholarly readers may choose at will. If I'd *only* done an IPA version, no one here (geographically) would have read it. As it is, bits of it sank in and I even got a couple of SMS messages in Jameld... but I digress. Certainly h�re (on-list), IPA (or the Conlang variant of X-SAMPA or whatever) is much preferable.
