These two aren't the same: -tion is /S@n/, -sion is /Z@n/. -ssion is
/S@n/, though. So -tion and -sion are different, which explains them
away.

Etábnanni /"rAmn}n/ isn't terribly readable, at least to those
unfamiliar with it. I was trying to get something odd but it failed and
became too regular. But Christophe (there, singled out again!) has a
really good one. Maggel I think it's called. He'll probably talk some
more.
