Well, the Tairezazh word for "planet Earth" is _Taia_, and the Steianzh one
is _Taie_ [taj.@]. No name for Europe, Sweden or Linköping as yet, altho'
the general areas denoted by the two fromer undoublty must have Tairezazh
names.

I'm not to much in favour of translating personal names; I'd probably simply
call myself _Andréas Júhansson_ if writing in either language (in the
Maidzhen Klaish script, of course). The Tairezazhen would probably mangle
that as ['andreas 'ouansOn], and the Steianzhen as ['andr@s 'ju@ns@n].
