I also use the alphabet as syllabary, in 'Yemls:

Syllabary to Romanization:
  {A}   ga, go
  {a}   gu, gw, g
  {B}   ba, bo
  {b}   bu, bw, b
  {C}   ce
  {c}   ci, cy, c
  {D}   da, do
  {d}   du, dw, d
  {E}   e
  {e}   i, y
  {F}   fa, fo
  {f}   fu, fw, f
  {G}   ge
  {g}   gi, gy
  {H}   he
  {h}   hi, hy
  {I}   qe
  {i}   qi, qy, q
  {J}   je
  {j}   ji, jy, j
  {K}   ke
  {k}   ki, ky
  {L}   le
  {l}   li, ly
  {M}   ma, mo
  {m}   mu, mw, m
  {N}   na, no
  {n}   nu, nw, n
  {O}   a, o
  {o}   u, w
  {P}   pe
  {p}   pi, py
  {Q}   ka, ko
  {q}   ku, kw, k
  {R}   la, lo
  {r}   lu, lw, r
  {S}   sa, so
  {s}   su, sw, s
  {T}   ta, to
  {t}   tu, tw, t
  {U}   ha, ho
  {u}   hu, hw, h
  {V}   fe
  {v}   fi, fy
  {W}   me
  {w}   mi, my
  {X}   xe
  {x}   xi, xy, x
  {Y}   ne
  {y}   ni, ny
  {Z}   za, zo
  {z}   zu, zw, z

The romanization is more or less phonemic, with |y| = /j/, |q| = /Z/, |x| =
/S/, |c| = /tS/, |j| = /dZ/, |h| = /x/.
