Very interesting – thank you!
And thank you for that, too. What I'm looking for are English transliterations of Hebrew words that make attractive given names (by generally English-speaking standards). While "T'horah" is no doubt an accurate rendering that you gave me, it doesn't really work that well for what I had in mind. "Tehora" or "Tehorah" would be closer to what I'm looking for, but I don't know whether that would be considered an acceptable, alternate transliteration. "Tehura" and "Tehurah" are even better but, again, are these acceptable, alternate transliterations?
