Pff... remind me never to begin such a thing again!! :))
Note that this transcription corresponds roughly to what a speaker of Maggel
would do if he had to transcribe this text in a hurry from the mouth of an
American speaker ;))) . Also, this transcription is unnaturally regular
compared to normal Maggel orthography :))) , and the number of approximations
is unnumerable ;))) . In some cases, it seems the whim of the writer has even
been stronger that the need of a phonetic transcription ;))) (Maggel writers
are extremely aware of calligraphy and aesthetics of the written word and
prefer to write "incorrectly" rather than uglily. Of course, they often have a
strange sense of aesthetics, but I can assure you that it looks better in the
Maggel alphabet ;))) ).
