I also developed a romanization for 'Yemls in addition to the normal syllabary. It can be written with only lower case + apostrophe for stress marking. A funny thing happened earlier. I was making up some examples in the romanization, and kept ending up using the syllabary instead. So I decided to take the easy way and first do the examples with the syllabary and afterwards add the romanization.
