I work around the missing sounds and structures (must have vowels at
the end, etc).

Paris: /m&li/
Seoul (hard to type!): /syl2/
Kagoshima: /k&N2Sim&/
Iraq: /Cil&Ni/
Madrid: /m&lin&/
Havana: /C&f&n&/ :)
SE<atilde>o Paulo: /s2p&l2/
It's harder to do something like "Helsinki" because of /ls/; you need
to throw in a vowel in Cenoji. It comes out like: /Cel&siNi/.
