- Hebrew transliteration is done via a revised Michigan/Claremont mapping that is more ASCII friendly
- Greek transliteration is done via the mapping below.
- e.g. Yahweh; well-known enough to understandable as the name God gives Hisself
- e.g. Shalom; recognizable enough to have meaning on its own Preserve the original spellings as much as possible. Try not to use the same English word for multiple original.
