And that's a problem I forgot to mention.  Razdiat has |ae|, |oe|, and an
occasional |ao|.  I suppose I could write |aw| for a-ring, as the sound of
"raw" in general AmerEng is the one I'm writing with a-ring, for |w| is
currently restricted to being after |d|, but if some new change strips the
|d| from it...

Hmm... other than the |ae| problem (as you foresaw), this works rather well.
And I can type in acute-accented letters directly, so Razdiat
(a-acute-underdot) could be |.á|.

In the same way, I could write æ (145) for the a-e, and Æ (146) for the
majuscule, but I don't think o-e is standard ASCII.  If I'm mistaken, then
this should be an easy problem to solve.  A-ring is å (134) and Å (143).

This language doesn't use |c| in its transcription, which leads me to think
that perhaps |ce| would be good for the o-e ligature, as it looks somewhat
like it already.  Cf. ce, CE and o, O.

azn.ath /aznaxT/ - language, voice
efrån /ef4On/ - to make something
estcér /est24/ - other, different
melces /mel2s/ - manner, nature
th.un /TuGn/ - part, piece

How does that look?
