Okay, so what's it supposed to be, {bangrsperAnto}? I know it would
not be necessary, but I'm going for a space-less, unambiguously
emphasized representation.

> How would you do {limna}? What about {retsku}?

{limna} is easy, although it nullifies my comment that {my} and {ny}
would be unnecessary in nybble#2: "-,li|m,na"

{retsku} is not so easy, because the {tsk} cluster needs to be broken
up somehow. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it permissible to
assume a very short {ybu} between {ty} and {sy} in this case? If so,
then I can either represent {retsku} as "-,re|-t-y|sk-u" or
"-,re|-t--|sk-u"

Thoughts on this? Would this facilitate or hinder understanding of
Lojban syllables? Also, wouldn't this be a great format for synthetic
Lojban speech programs? What other words seem troublesome?
