Ejective notation

You really shouldn't change the way of writing Na'vi ejectives. Frommer himself (Dec 21) explains why they are necessary, Since the apostrophe already meant a glottal stop, trying to use it for the ejectives as well would have resulted in ambiguities: would a sequence like hap'a indicate an ejective (i.e., ha-pxa) or a p closing one syllable followed by a glottal stop opening another (hap-'a)? They're not the same thing!Wm.annis 14:50, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
