Oh, good one!  Like Welsh ll and Aztec tl?  I suspect I would confuse it with x (the hissy thing that isn't one I use -- but that is almost the lojban definition)

<that weird wh some English dialects use>
My wh adds a distinct u quality when used and thus is even worse than h -- what do other dialects use?
