Usa — 2/0 (FH,BF,/0)

Usania — 1/2 (LS,/FH,BF,)

• I like Benjamin Franklin's idea of "Usania" (/,ju"zajn"i,a/), back when the US's Founding Fathers were working on a shorthand for "The United States of America." It looks like an actual country's name, rather than an acronym.
  • Please note that this would be pronounced differently than the other IPA; instead, it would be /,u"sa"ni,a/, if that makes sense. ~LS
  • I just realized a difference that I should note, in the pronunciation of "Usania:" it would have to be /,u,sa,ni"a/. Sorry about that. ~LS
