I've recently started working on a Elvish language for the same coniverse that
Yargish is spoken in.
In the transliteration, stop+h spells the corresponding fricative, so you get
normal stuff like |ch|=[x], but also |bh|=[B]. This reflects the native
script's use of a special fricativizer symbol.
Despite my best intentions, the thing is getting a vaguely walliosindarinic
feel - _creach_ [krjax] "castle" is likely going to be _chreaec_ [xrjajk] in
the definite plural gentive ("of the castles").

PS I'm planning to concoct an orthography for Yargish using this Elvish
script. It's romanization might become something to see - "Nashaval" (name of
the mountains where the Yargish lives) is going to come out as something like
_Naseabhal_, and then there goes downhill. A hypothetical Yargish word _nyizh_
[n^jiZ] would have to come out as _neidhe_.
