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/.
