Voragh:
> Instead of trying for a hyper-correct, overly-long translation of *Buddha*, you could go another way and just use his name:  *{ghotam}, *{gho'tam}, *{ghawtam}, etc.

ter'eS:
> Just remember, Josh, that getting others' input is always desirable, and having grammar vetted is essential, but in the end, it's your translation.
> We don't have to agree with every choice you make.
