Or you could just bad-say it, like Latin.

I think for at least one of my conlangs, I'll write this as "nngfth".

And if you're being hunted, perhaps it's for your meat, in which case
"bitter" might be a reason they shouldn't be hunting you.

For those who don't know about this, you don't just walk over and squeeze
