Re: 'out-' affix in conlangs?

Benct:
Norrköping is pronounced ['pe:kiŋ]? What??
Also, Michael:

Does Omina lack fricatives? Because to substitute [dij] for [dʒ] seemed
quite counter-intuitive to me. Unless, of course, you meant / / by [ ] and
the sequence is pronounced the same way as the Welsh example you gave below.

To Mark:

[beɪtsɪŋ] is probably the closest pronunciation you can get using English
phonemes to the actual Mandarin reading, especially taking into account the
aspiration of the English /p/.
