Or "j" which isn't otherwise used in Ryan's system.  Marketa used "j" for
consonantal "y" (as in "yell") and "y" for the diphthong /ay/.

As I understand it, this sound wasn't used in Marketa's system but
represented an aspirated "t", as in Ryan's "dh".

: We  also need a "Ch" sounds as in the hebrew word Hadash. I am afraid there is
: no english equvalent. Or dutch graach.

: Marketa

As well as a "sh" (spelled thus by Marketa & consistant with Ryan's
proposal), as in sh'rr, Sha Kah Ree, sha'mii, shaforr, shan hal lak,
ShanaiKahr, shar, sharien, shatarr, shavokh, sherkhah, shi, shi'kar,
shi-ka'ree, ShiKahr, shiov, shroy, Shuridar, shv'cezh, etc.  (These examples
come from various sources and their spellings will need to be standardized.)
