I say "kernauke", and I had to stare at "kernoue" for a few seconds 
because "ou" is rare in Lojban. It's "ker,no,ue", not "ker,nou,e", which is 
what I was trying at first to read it as.

I'd dispense with them unless it's easier to make a type-4 with them. For 
instance, from "isiXhosa" I made "sitlosa" (there is nothing resembling a 
click in Lojban, so I picked something vaguely similar to the sound). But 
for "Nyankore" I'd say "niankore". Similarly, Uw Olkola (an Australian 
language closely related to Uw Oykangand) I call "olkola", and Guugu 
Yimidhirr could be "iimdiri" (or "bangrjimidiri" for type-3).
