You could always use a diæresis to show hiatus, like in "naïve" or "noël". English and French both do this (though it's fallen out of fashion in English). Tolkien also used it in his languages for that purpose, as well as on final E so English-speakers wouldn't assume it was silent (I'm stealing that idea for Ilion).
