    Since no one else said anything, I thought I might as well.  Your idea is
rather inventive.  :)  What's more, it kind of makes sense: the glottal stop
symbol being associated with ejectives, and the maddah whose effect is to
lengthen the /a/ vowel (I don't know if that was its initial purpose) is used
to syllabify nasals and liquids.  Excellent.  Bravo! ~:D  I don't think I
would have ever thought of that.
