Dear Rupert,

It is really good to hear from you.
As for using x (plus v & w) for the transliteration of a vowel, there is
already a proposal as follows.

Examples: űرâ(Korean national flag): Thxgwggi   Àü¶ó(the name of a
province): Jvnla

I personally do not like to take this kind of economy-oriented but
ugly-looking transliteration system
as a common measure. One can also fiddle with f , q and z but we can do
better without them.

Yours,

Sang-Oak
