Toledo

[Lombard]

Well even with changing CHARACTER ENCODING to UNICODE UTF-8 the transliterations and Arabic script don't seem to be dispayed correctly.

So here the examples with Arial Unicode MS:


Plato: Aflâtûn (Aflāṭūn, افلاطون)

consul: qunsul (qunṣul, قنصل)

Antonius: Antûniyûs (Anṭūniyū̄s, انطونيوس)

stabulum: istabl (iṣṭabl, اصطبل) [to ensure "ta", and not "tæ"]

tabula: tâwula (ṭāwula, طاولة) ["taa", and not "tææ"]

imperator: imbarâtûr (imbarāṭūr,  امبراطور)

Goth: qût (qūṭ, قوط)

Somal(i): sûmâl (ṣūmāl, صومال)

Tolun (Turkish, cf. Tulunids): Tûlûn (Ṭūlūn, طولون)

Corduba (Córdoba): Qurtuba (Qurṭuba, قرطبة)

Oreto (in Spain): Urît (Urīṭ, اريط)

Tortosa: Turtusha (Ṭurṭuša, طرطشة)

Aristotle: Aristû (Arisṭū, ارسطو)

Elisabet (Greek, Elizabeth): Alîsâbât, Ilîsâbât (Alīṣābāt or Ilīṣābāt, اليصابات) [first "a" is an "a", the second one "æ"]

Petros (Greek, Peter): Bitrus, Butrus (Biṭrus or Buṭrus, بطرس)
