Then hm = [v].

One of those has to be for hm. Therefore, d /= [d]. Instead, I'll say
that gd = [d]. (Before, I called it gdh = [d]. But that would be a
trick.)

Final s = [z]

Cryptic. Does that mean that the initial g lengthens the next vowel? I'll
go with that. Then d = [d].

As for the latter half of the word, it's more difficult. You didn't
comment as much on it.

Well, |abgis|, according to what I seem to have worked out, is [EIz].
Word-final |s| is [z], I'll say. Then |gi| for [I] and |ab| for [E]?

Therefore:
|g|  [:]
|d|  [d]
|hm|  [v] (Clint's first correct bit; H.S. Teoh's first correct bit)
|ab|  [E]
|gi|  [I]
|s|  [z] (Clint's second correct bit, though he said Z; H.S. Teoh's
second correct bit)

|d| can't be [d], but I'll see how I score on this.

There's a game called Mastermind from which I learned logic of this sort.
It seems not to be working well, though.

>|ht| is [C] and [hd] (like |hj|) is [G]!!!
Remember, multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign of a diseased
mind!!!
