The stressed syllabic consonants are pretty cool.

Since you don't have an /o/ phoneme, you might as well
represent /@/ with "o".  That would relieve you from all
those ugly ës.  "Onlosh" is also less obviously an English
clone than Ënlësh is.  =P

Or maybe, if you worry about "o"=/@/, use "u"=/@/ (which
should be rather intuitive for an English speakers) and
"o"=/u/.  Unlush!
