neshidua would have been better than nehsidua.

'Sh' is one sound and it has its own phonetic symbol (I don't remember how I could produce that symbol here; it looks a little like a lowercase f, you know, but longer and without the small horizontal line).

Many people think that thang is gnaht backwards. But it can also be ngath. 'Ng' is one sound, and so is 'th'. They also have their phonetic symbols.

This is easier with a letter like x.

Think of the word dicks. Write it diks.

Then write is dix.

Then turn it backwards: xid. You naturally read it ksid.

Now turn this word backwards again, and you get disk. So diks has become disk. All character combinations that can be understood as a single sound behave in the same way, even the Russian 'shtsh'.

No, this is not complicated, this is all very elementary. There was a quite idiotic poster TheBat at Danpedo; sometimes he posted as Tabeth (not Tabeht).

I had nothing better to do, so I posted this.
