Just become Scottish - it makes life a lot easier! It's the sound we
have at the end of "Loch", and the exclamation "ach".

I also use it for my surname - I reckon it's closest to an H.

mu'o mi'e .kris.xaulet.

PS. Incidentally - I've been getting a little confused over this. Why is
it "la kris." but "mi'e .kris."? I can't help feeling that it should be
one or the other, but Lojban for Beginners seems to suggest not.
