Wow, thanks...that's really neat! However, I'm a little confused...which names are our official legal Lavalonian names, Lavang or English? Also, which is the more acceptable form of writing, Greek or Roman alphabet?

Everyone has a Lavang name formed from their English name that may be used in any situation just as their English name could be used.
To form your Lavang name, replace any english words in your name that have Lavang equivelants with those equivelants. If the English has no Lavang equivelants, simply transliterate it to Lavang spelling. For your last name in Lavang always add an -e suffix. ALL Lavang surnames end with an epsilon (e), even Zachary F.'s F.
Urikht is the Lavang word for "smith" and "wright". People with English surnames "smith" or "wright" would have the Lavang surname of Urikhte. If your last name was "Goldsmith" your surname would be "Armalurikhte".
Accents are optional. If you use them, write them with UNICODE. Everyone has UNICODE probably, but not everyone has a specific font for the other kinds of encoding.
Roman is preferred for common usage. Greek should be used for official seals, logos, mottos, etc.
We should have our forum names translated in Greek for an added "effect". Parts of the website will also.

My first name in Lavang is Yawedez, if that fits with the "code."
Nathan= Gift from God in Hebrew; Yawedez= God-given in Lavang

Excellent work on conjugating Yawe to be Yawedez! Perhaps you will be the first to have a PhD in Lavang Studies (besides me, of course)! Use whichever sounds best, the translation (English->Hebrew->Lavang, which I guess is okay) or the transliteration.
