Navajo xkb symbols?

Hi,
First has anyone already done a Navajo keyboard mapping?
On teh presumption that there isn't one I've been trying to make one,
but with limited success. From xkb/symbols/us:
---cut---
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "nv" {
name[Group1]= "Diné Bizaad based on U.S. English - International
(with dead keys)";
include "us(intl)"
// Alphanumeric section
key <AC01> { [ a, A, aogonek,
Aogonek ] };
key <AD03> { [ e, E, eogonek,
Eogonek ] };
key <AD08> { [ i, I, iogonek,
Iogonek ] };
key <AD09> { [ o, O, oogonek,
Oogonek ] };
key <AD07> { [ u, U, uogonek,
Uogonek ] };
key <AC09> { [ l, L, lstroke,
Lstroke] };
key <AB06> { [ n, N, nacute,
Nacute ] };
//quotes are more important than dead_diaeresis, I think...
key <AC11> { [ apostrophe, quotedbl, dead_acute,
dead_diaeresis ] };
include "compose(rwin)"
};
---cut---
most of that works, but "ookonek" and "Oogonek" do not, though I can
compose them with "dead_ogonek + o", this is most puzzling.
The second problem is combining the ogonek with an acute, I can't seem
to do it. I've tried dead_acute + <vowel>ogonek and dead_ogonek +
<vowel>accute.
I can copy and paste the character from a UTF-8 document, so it will
display with my font in my xterm. I don't know if the "character" is
two or three actual unicode characters see
http://unicode.org/faq/char_combmark.html#12 for possibilities.
It seems like this should actually be quite easy if you know what
you're doing, is it?
Thanks,
-Jon
