I have decided to add a sound to Alopian which I had long been trying to implant. I had not yet found an æsthetically pleasing way of writing a glottal stop, but I liked the idea.
Finally I decided to go with ḥ. It's the only consonant with a diacritic, and it's not ˛ but close enough.
The glottal stop is not found in any significant amount in native roots, but it is however found in affixes. The past markers te- or de- become -ḥe- intervocally;
tekẻdlas - it turned out that
taḥekẻdlas - it appeared
I'm quite happy with the change.
