I map these thirteen single letters to uppercase:
  a b e j l m o p r u v w y -> A B E J L M O P R U V W Y

These four already-uppercase letters remain unchanged:
  D H I S -> D H I S

I map the apostrope to uppercase Z.
  ' -> Z

I map two digraphs to single characters:
  ch -> C, gh -> G

The remaining six letters get mapped with numeric suffixes to make the
sort order come out right:
  n -> N1, ng -> N2, q -> Q1, Q -> Q2, t -> T1, tlh -> T2

This scheme was independently devised by at least one other person.
