Names in Tirelat are changed to fit Tirelat phonology, but the guidelines
for doing this transformation have been even less stable than the Tirelat
phonology itself. I'd probably have something like "Xø'me~n Mile~r" for my
name (imagine that the apostrophe is an acute accent, and the tildes are
breves on top of the e's), which is pronounced ["x8:m@n "mIl@r]. Note that
this is the most recent revision of the Tirelat spelling, which isn't yet
on the web page: in the old spelling it would have been "Khêmën Milër".
