<There's a slight element of ambiguity here: =ng= can mean both /N/
and /Ng/ intervocally. Writing the latter as =ngg= would be rather
ugly. Anyway, the popular transliteration doesn't make an effort to
be unambiguous -- that's what the linguistic transliteration is for.>
Ah. New possibilities introduced to my little mind. Both fun and
educational.
>Do you have a graphical version [of Sturnan's script] online somewhere?
http://gareis.free.fr/script.gif should give you a bad representation of
the script. If I had a scanner, I could give a better version. But I
don't own a scanner. Even now the cows laugh, alas, alas.
I'll soon replace that with a better version, though also made in MS
Paint.

That's a null syllabic consonant followed by the labiodental approximant?
You must hate the world. :))
