I just came across the Hebrew words for Anthropocentric and theocentric in my Hebrew homework. They look Awfully scary, even if they sound almost exactly like the English.
I did once receive a New Year's card from Japan when I was in Israel. I believe my correspondent used the transliteration I-er-u-sa-re-mu. Not all that bad, considering. *still remembers the fun Japanese teacher had referring to classmate named Lukashevsky*
Ahh, the joy of Slavic lastnames... In a similar theme, I liked how someone once turned my last name into Kosokosow. Certainly sounds a bit Japanese that way- maybe just the arrangement of syllables, not that I know anything about Japanese....
Poor Jonathan-san and Anthony... (Japanese also has no "th", which becomes an "s", thus resulting in jonasansan and the like...) 'Course, I'm torabisu, so... gee, Sharona, you're lucky, ne?
