a) maineko; b) mineko Explanation: There are several problems here: 1) How is the original name pronounced? If if is pronounced as "my-nay-ko", then romanized version of the name would be written as shown in a) above; if it is pronounced as "me-nay-ko", then the romanized version of the name would be as shown in b). 2) the proz.com website software does not allow me to type in Japanese characters, so it is not possible for me to type either of the two possiblities above in the "katakana" phonetic symbols which Japanese people use to write foreign names. And, even if I could, if is doubtful that Ms./Mr. Bradley's computer would be able to present them for viewing in the correct manner (without the appropriate Japanese word-processing software). I suggest that the asker locate a native Japanese person and ask her/him to write "Myneko" in Japanese. Hope this answer is helpful. Haslov None applicable |
