If anyone's still interested... I thought I had sent this off before I
left on vacation, but I don't see it.

Good one, John, I'm sure that's how it sounds to non-natives anyway.

My best attempt at an X-SAMPA phonetic transcription of my name:

        ["la:s "hEn?R3_kk m{_k"t_hi:?sn=_k]

([V_k] is creaky voice --- yes, I think Danish has (non-phonemic)
creaky voice in unstressed syllables. [?] is a glottal gesture that
occurs on the last voiced part of a syllable --- which may be after
the vowel proper, on a nasal or liquid for instance --- and consists
of a transition from clear phonation to almost complete interruption
of air flow, and a return to _creaky_ phonation).

Kristian will now probably tell me that I can't hear how I'm saying my
own name.
