I pronounce "maiky'elsem" as [majk@helsem] because that's how it was
intended to be said. Similarly, Hawai'ian has [r] and [l] as free allophones
of /l/, though most people use [l]. Yet in borrowed words, you hear more r
sounds when that fits the original sound, such as [?arani] for /'alani/
"orange".
