Nice. Original with you, or something you cribbed from elsewhere?
It would be nice if this could be extended/corrected.
The transliterations of transliterations (Hebrew and Greek) need
extending -- Arabic, Devanagri, and Pinyin for sure. This is one name
that exists in ALL important human languages, and since each important
human language seems to have its own rules for transliterating
Cyrillic letters, we get a jolly orthographic babel.
