Quick transliteration question.
-
How would the word "Harlequin" be spelled in Hebrew? Haven't yet established a full command of the transliteration process(I suppose that'll come with Practicus), but knowledge of this particular word would assist my work for the day.
Thank you in advance.

There are two possible questions here, and I don't know which you mean.
Do you mean: If seeking gematria for the English word harlequin, how would you encode/transliterate the letters? (E.g., "James" = YAMHS)
Or, do you mean: If you were writing this as if it were Hebrew, so that a Hebrew speaker/reader would recognize it and know how to pronounce it (in the fashion of writing hierophantes for the Greek equivalent), how would you write it? (E.g., "James" = GeMZ, but only for a Yeminite Jew.)
For the former, using a strict conversion code, I'd answer: HARLHQVYN
For the latter, amidst minor vowel-related varations, I'd answer: Har-le-quin HRLQVN. (The a would be absorbed with a vowel pointing as in the Hebrew word har, thee would be a schwa, and the i would be a pointing since adding a Yod would change the sound to iy, essentially the English ee which you don't want.)

I had a feeling I wasn't wording that correctly, Danica had it right.
Thank you both for the quick response.
