To expand on what I was saying about names. People would take a Txeqli name, just as they now take Mandarin names. Sometimes (as in Mandarin) the name is an approximation of the pronunciation, sometimes it's a translation. I'm Kiqzo Faizemxar, a translation Javier Barrio is very close to Txeqli phonology, so it would be Havyer Baryo, or, to keep both as morphemes, Hawiyer Baryo. Kevin Smith. Kevin is easy Either Kevin or Kewin. Smith might be Smi, or Smitu, or a translation into Txeqli meaning 'maker' ? Farpe. Alexander Browne... Brown is of course Brawn. Alexander... We can go with the Indic pronunciation "Skander." -- >PLEASE NOTE MY NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS: rmay@hidden.email > Rex F.
