Well, in Ebisedian, "Peter" turns out rather well, since it fits nicely in
Ebisedian phonology and stress conventions. It comes out as _ePi'tir_,
pronounced [?&"p_hitir`]. The [i] in the last syllable is because of the
mandatory locative case vowel. However, in cases other than locative some
rather odd things happen, e.g. originative _ePi't0r_ [?&"p_hitAr`], or
conveyant _eP3't3r_ [?&"p_h@\t@\r`].
