Ann, thank you for taking your time to answer. I didn't know there was an animated feature.
In 'B', there is a performer's cadenza at 4:33.
My despairing latest form is: Tsymbalum. Other than sound, among the criteria I've labored over are how it would appear on the page and the avoidance of distracting visual or auditory associations: Dj, Djuna Barnes and lack of sibilance, too easily voiced: 'sludge'; Tchai, clumsy looking; Tcy, too much like TCBY [The Country's Best Yoghurt]; Ch, seemingly good, but often not incisive enough, also 'chaos'; Cs, unclear sound; Cz, 'czar'; Czy, crazy; Tzy, ditzy; and so on. We seem to agree. If only the Italian initial 'c' or the Czech č were options! The IPA ˈt͡ʃ looks like 'ts' though. Must avoid slurring it into 'tsar'. I'm unhappy with Tsymbalum, but failing the č or Italian sprezzatura, it might have to do.
Any other thoughts are highly welcome by PM or an open post here.
Back to other allegedly beautiful words.
