Ugh, I knew I'd have to make corrections.

The last item, the voiced uvular stop, should be <g'>.
> p' t' ts' c' t`' tl' k' q' ' > s sh s` z zh z` h h` `
The next to last, the voiceless pharyngeal fricative, is <h'>. The last, the voiced pharyngeal, is <`> for now, but I might adopt <"> instead. If so, the schwa has to be changed.

The third item, the schwa, could be a single quote; the reader would have to derive from context if the quote mark is a schwa or a glottal stop. Fortunately, a period can be used to separate phonemes if needed (e.g. <t.`> /t?\/ vs. <t`> /t`/). DaW.
