Actually, it is `kam-sa-hap-ni-da' with the `-p'
pronounced as `m' due to the following `n'.  So that'd
be:

    K+A  S+A  H+A  N+I  D+A
     M         P

The writing is really extremely easy to learn, true.  Very nice
system.  It took me only one day, because the letters are so nicely
derived.  I tried to learn the Taiwanese system to write Chinese
pronunciation, but this was much harder to remember.  Actually so
hard that I forgot it... :-))
