BTW, did you consider using the Cyrillic soft sign for /j/? You used the nice Cyrillic ligatures (dunno whether they are considered ligatures or letters) of n and l + soft sign (like, say, Serbian)), but then went for Latin j for the forced palatalisation. Are there cases where j appears after a regularly palatised consonant? In Latin orthography, the two types of palatalisation seem to collapse to j. **Henrik
