Ayeri lacks [f] for some strange aesthetic reason. Would you
mind "Pilim" then? In a dialect and maybe-candidate for a
daugherlang of Ayeri you could even be "Pilip". In Standard
Ayeri as it is ATM, when the name should decline for
something, it would also be "Pilip...". Recently I decided
against sticking case endings to names, though. I thought
I'd use [v] because this is the closest thing to [f] that
exists.

... which is actually pronounced [ju:] in Britain and just
[u:] in the US. It's not a diphthong -- at least not to my
Cherman-biast ears: ["nju:tn=].
