Re: ng vs w

        Well, if your goal is to make a phoneme set that is maximally pronouncible,
then I vote /w/, because people unaccustomed to this sound can usually get
away with treating it like a /u/. Of course, I suppose that /N/ can be
pronounced /ng/ or /nk/.
        I don't know, this is your baby. Flip a coin. Decide which you like best. I
personally don't care much for either sound, which is why Enamyn lacks both a
/w/ and /N/. But if I had to chose between the two, I would say go with /w/.
