Indeed, it wouldn't even need an orthographic symbol. Kjak would be pronounced /kjak@/, since /k/ can't be in syllable-final position. Incidentally, is that rule still up for debate? I personally don't mind using stops in syllable-final position. -- "It's bad manners to talk about ropes in the house of a man whose father was hanged." - Irish proverb http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/X-Files ICQ: 18656696 AOL: NikTailor
