So, what shall we call thee in Meghean? The "obvious" adaption would be
_Shenric_ [hEnrik], but that's got the alveolar trill. An uvular approximant or
fricative would perhaps most sensibly be adapted as /G/ ... except that
regularly becomes /Z/ before /i/. I guess you would not much like _Sheñghic_
[hEnZik]! A Meghean scribe attempting to indicate the foreign sound sequence
would probably write _Sheñghoic_, inviting the spelling pronunciations [hENGwik]
and [hENGojk].
