I took the one-quarter intro class. I seem to recall that the professor
was stubbornly Americanist and, for instance, marked transcriptions
wrong if they used e.g. [tS)] instead of c-with-hacek.

Your aggressively infixing language looks like a lot of fun! But
you have to be careful, for that way lies potentially uncontrollable
homonymy, metonymy, and general ambiguymy. Er, ambiguity. A tightly-
constrained syllable structure would help here.
