This makes the third spelling of "being." ;-) Third? What was the second? I refer you to message #150. In which Marketa states that the correct pronounciation of kya was kja. Which still seems confusing as I do not know if she meant the lexicon transliteration or yours. If the she used the Lexicon transliteration then since I generally use your transcription method i probably should have spelled it kdja. However, if she meant your transliteration then I spelled it that way. Personally I hope she means the zh sound in azure when she said kja, since kdja seems a little unweildy.
