Thanks Jim,

You're very brave.  That's a first for here.  I appreciate that.
In truespel, I assume it would be foespeld ~aa suwwaeyu.

~aa as in "ah".
~s as in "say".
~u as in "uh".
~ww as in "way" (a double consonant shows stress (desert/dessert)
~ae as in "Mae".
~y as in "yet" (I assume a y-glide is in there, else an apostrophe).
~u as in "uh" (looks strange at the end of a word, I know).

I've been wondering for years if the type of notation illustrated by "ah
suh-WAY-uh" has a name.  I think Voice of America uses it.  Is it their
invention?
