Have you thought of using an epsilon for your schwa?  That's what I
use in Senyecan.  Although I just discovered it can't be written here
with &___;!  I use it in wiki.frath.  It's a nice variation
from "e."  And, in the Greek alphabet, it does come with accents.  I
deleted the rest of your post so I don't remember if you are
using "y" yet.  That, too, comes with accents.
