HelpRe: Fake Etymology
in reply to a message by queenv
Does it change anything if you consider that "'amali" would be written as أملي, not as Amali, so it has to be transcribed to English? (Like how Alexei / Aleksey / Aleksei / Alexey are all valid transcriptions of Алексей? or how English translators of the bible decided to go with Daniel over Daniyyel for דָּנִיֵּאל?
Just curious as to how the 'identical' line of thinking works with non-English alphabets.

Hmmm. That's a good point. As I'm not at all versed in other alphabets, I couldn't say. I guess I'll have to take my answer back and say I don't know. I don't take back what I said about Linda, lol, but I take back that I wouldn't accept this definition of Emmalee.
