I wasn't sure, either.

http://www.eki.ee/letter/chardata.cgi?search=g+with+caron only knows
of Skolt Sámi as the only language using that letter; I don't know
what value the letter has there, though.

That's the first thing that came to _my_ mind, based on old Turkish
where g-breve was [G], if you're going to use a Latin-based
orthography. Otherwise, of course, gamma is a possibility.

(I would also have considered using eng, rather than n-caron, for [N].
N-caron seems like [J] to me... AFAIK that's its value in Czech.)
