Without wanting to be picky & awkward in any way, how does a strictly
verbal, non-written language have, or need, macrons?

Wouldn't they be there based solely on a English-speaking persons
interpretation of how the word would be spelt in English, based on how they
heard it pronounced in Pitjantjatjara?

Thanks
