Thanks for the solution!
I elect to use Stephens solution, as I am not using LyX (making
the changes directly to the LaTeX source). When I learn the
proper use of LyX, I'll try the other suggested solution.
the command I use is
$\skew9\acute{s}\thinspace$
The thinspace is to accommodate the non-italic text which
follows. Perhaps I should also try the \ / mechanism, too.
