Transliterating Melty letters, I am using Latin letters "c, h, j, q, w, y"
only as modifiers of preceding letter.

"w" = labial
"c" = alveolar
"y" =  postalveolar
"j" = palatal
"q" = velar
"h" = friction

bilabial: vw, fw, b, p, m
labiodental: v, f
dental: dh, th, d, t, n
alveolar: z, s, gc = dz, kc = ts
postalveolar: zy, sy, gcy = dzy, kcy = tsy
palatal: zj, sj, dj, tj, nj
velar: zq = gh, sq = kh, g, k, nq
labiovelar: vq = ghw, fq = khw, bq = gw, pq = kw

If "c, cy, q" occurs initially or after a vowel, it means "kc, kcy, pq".

When diacritic marks are available, "caron" is used instead of folowing "y".
