... but I could use some help from the linguistically inclined.

I have all the documents from the URLs that I recently requested. One of
them carries the filename of 'Vilani_phonics.doc' and describes how Vilani
is pronounced, though that guide as given specifically calls out that
you'll have a Terran/Anglic accent (and I suspect that it will be a General
American accent).

I took that document, and worked with it and Wikipedia's entry on the
International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).  Unfortunately, my email client
doesn't do Unicode very well, so I'm having to work with X-SAMPA for this
message.

Below is what I've come up with for converting Vilani-written-with-Anglic
into IPA/X-SAMPA; I've also included the standard descriptive name of the
sound from IPA. I'd appreciate it if the linguistically inclined could
cross-check my work and comment. (Note that X-SAMPA is case-sensitive!)
