Etabnanni wouldn't be very happy with anything like /mormon/, but would
accept /"mo:1mo1n/ (1=normal pitch). As a borrowing, it'd be spelt
<M=OMON> (=O is long o), or natively something like <m=om'ona> or
<ev=om'one> (' accents the following letter). I can't say what, if
anything, it'd mean though.
