That's an idea ... it may still be incorporated. It'd cause some phonetic
mergers - _si_ and _chi_ would sound the same, forinstance. I'll have to give
that some thought.

That would have to involve turning /sj/ (as in a hypothetical word _seom_
[sjom]) into [S], too. Seems like a very natural change.
