You find _⅁ preferable to ĝ?

Yes. I saw it in a sample of typeset Gamilaraay back in college and fell in love.

(As for LaTeX, it should cope fine with any of these — certainly if you’re using XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX it should. What problems are you encountering?)

I cannot get the breve under the h to compose correctly in section headings. It lets me do a breve above just fine but not below.

The one on Wikipedia, right? That’s what I immediately thought of too. (Though personally I consider that a mere typographic variant of ⟨ŋ⟩.)

Odd. Is there any reason you can’t just use Unicode ⟨ḫ⟩?

(But I suspect an issue with the font, rather than anything to do with LaTeX.)

It is a font issue, yes. I am too attached to the family of typefaces to select a new one.

I have had the singular privilege of being featured on masako’s livestream (it starts around 32’25”).

A few bits and bobs before I forget…

Yeah, OK. /ŋ x ʕ/ _⅁ g ǵ. I kinda like that aesthetic. Weird but still kind of understandable/intuitive to figure out (at least I should hope so).

ǵ g _⅁ g ǵ

It occurs to me that the adasar, in addition to having to deal with more iron in their environs, would also be a bit more radiation-hardened (IIRC Xi Boötis A is a flare star? I know it's a variable, that kind of governed the fortnight system the Tim Ar came up with).

Druidsprachen is a sort of koiné/lingua franca/what ended up happening to Latin. There are two main competing standards maintained by formal governing bodies. (If there's a more correct way to render this I'm all ears.)
