I'll hopefully have a computer of my own soon enough.
If it hasn't been done by then, I'll try to help.
In the meantime, you might want to use this site:

I really do think they're [v] in Scottish Gaelic. In
Irish, they may be more like [B] or even [w]. In any
event, <mh> sometimes nasalizes the surrounded vowels.

I think that the superscript <h> would precede the
<j>, but I might be biased due to my Indo-European
knowledge.

Aren't they dark-l and dark-n? Like the <l> (in my
dialect) in <look>. They're written with a tilde
through the L and N.
But I think Akerbeltz will help you more.
