well, Montreiano represents /S/ as either x, or with stops and the like,
with just s (it didnt go the route of Spanish where an e was added, the s
just evolved to /S/:

red - roxo /roSo/
he is - eu sta /Sta/

So, if the following I isnt syllabic in Montreiano, and there's a /S/
before, they use x:

xima /Sima/

of course, Montreiano is following the route of old Spanish here.

/tS/ is always ch though. Perhaps you could use a ç for /tS/? Montreiano
uses is for /ts/:

plaça - plaza
