[lojban-beginners] Questions on the sounds chosen for Lojban

[Greendogo <pcm1123@gmail.com>]

I was wondering what criteria was chosen for the sounds used in
Lojban.

For instance, why was the German sound used for "x" used, but the
sounds [th]ink, [th]e, b[a]t, and b[i]t were not?

Is there any way to create the consonant "th" sounds using a method
similar to how the [j] in jump is created by writing [dj] instead (or
how [ch] is written [tc])?
