Request for IPA transcriptions

Hello. Could anyone please provide the broad and narrow IPA transcriptions of the following words? They are on the list of tropical storm names and I want to transcribe them into Thai language, but I don't know how to convert the symbols used in MED into IPA.

aere {hayẹrẹy}
kōdọ {kedaw}
ḷañ {ḷag}
utọr {witarʷ}
barijat

Inappropriate English approximations

The initial consonants in "beach", "meat", "near" and "peace" are not palatalized in English. Similarly, the consonants in "subway", "dust", "gym wear", "numb", "sleepwear" and "tough" aren't velarized either! Furthermore, it's pretty much impossible for a native speaker of English to differentiate between the initial /r/'s in "rat" and "roof". Why would we want to list "differences" between consonants that are never made in English? Kbb2 (ex. Mr KEBAB) (talk) 07:52, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
