That's [sa a 'la Nal], with [N]? I've been pronouncing it [sa a 'laN gal]!
But then I used to think Teonaht was ['te o na:t].
Jarrda is technically ['J\ar da], with a voiced palatal stop and an
alveolar trill, but I usually just say ['dZar\ d@]. Tirelat is ['ti 4@
lat], and Ludireo is [lu di 're o]. Probably the most misleading spelling
of my older languages is Cispa, which is ['tSis pa], but I'm considering
going back to the original romanized spelling as "Chispa".
