I think it's still much better than |m| or |ñ|, which both seem misleading. I seem to have overseen this fourth nasal character in isolatin! :-) Very nice. I thing I will experiment with this for Qthen|gai romanisation. It's currently a bit uneven. Any good suggestion for a voiceless pharyngeal fricative? :-) Currently, I use |hh|, the only digraph[1]. I thought about y with diaeresis, maybe. **Henrik [1] Unless you analyse [nd], written |nd| as /d/, which would be feasible.
