Hi Paul,
I think it's awesome that you plan to transliterate the five books of Moses, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings from a modern translation. In the Jewish Faith what are these books called together, by the way? [If memory serves well the five books of Moses, are called the Torah.]
best regards,
Carl /kRal/

The King James Version is very poetical, and has a relatively small
stack of words.
There are few minor disagreements on small number of words in the
older translations. Supposedly, the new translations are closer to
the original meaning. Anyway,
I suppose I could transliterate a modern translation of the first 5
books of Moses, Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings.
That covers the important stuff from my religous point of view.
Regards, Paul Vandenbrink

plan on transliterating the Holy Bible (Old and New Testament). As
for which version I will first do the King James Version. Then my
favorite alternate translation th New International Version. In my
last posting I mentioned the "Standard Works" of my Church (The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) These include, the
Holy Bible (King James Version), the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine
and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. [Ethan has a website
concerning a transliteration of the King James Bible into Shavian]

opportunaty to make academic contributions to Shavian, so that
Shavian will no longer be a "dead" alphabet, but have just as much
vitality as T.O..
