Never say I don't procrastinate.

New, Improved Thagojian / Lhomrentic[*] numerals.

1       wïno
2       duho
3       treya
4       petrë
5       pémpé
6       Sek.së
7       sémte
8       heStë
9       qennë
10      démSi

All pretty much as in the IPA, except:
|ï| = /1/ (i-umlaut)
|ë| = /@/ (e-umlaut)
|é| = /E/ (e-acute)
|S| = /S/ (s-acute)
|y| = /j/
|k.s| = |k| followed by (s-underdot) = /ks/
The underdot device is used to disambiguate in romanisation between the spellings
{kapa}{sima} (with the dot in romanisation) and {ksé} (without).

|w| and |y| are written no differently than |u| and |i| in the native script, i.e.
{wu} and {yëta}.

[*] Which is more euphonious, do you think, /T{"goU.dZ@n/ or /"Kom.r\@n.tIk/ ? I'm
considering changing the name, to avoid having to state "New" vs "Old" in my notes.
