First a couple of assumptions regard the algorithm:
1) That transliterated Cherokee to Latin produces names that are somewhat
similar to English ones.
2) At least they are more similar to a name than to a non-name word.
3) For a given verse having more than one name, the result is accurate.

While I must confess my interest in Cherokee is fairly limited, the process of
proximity testing would be extremely helpful for study bible creation in any
number of languages. Could you explain the algorithms with mire details? Are
there cpan or python modules available?

I think what Greg said was correct. I understood it the same way:
Starting w/ a breakdown of the names in each verse in an English Bible, iterate
over that set of verses in the Cherokee Bible, doing the following:
For each word in the original Cherokee text transliterate into latin characters

Hi Greg,
If all we wanted to achieve is the capitalization of proper names for the
transliteration, the back conversion wouldn't be needed.
We could even make a Cherokee Latin module, were we so inclined.
/Aside - I've even actually made one for myself, but without any uppercase
letters/.

What is the possible usefulness of back-conversion? The method Chris
proposed, if I understood him properly, would require no such bidi
transliteration. It would only require transliteration from Cherokee
into Latin and then a comparison of the Latin transliteration text
with known Latin representa
Hi Chris,
I just tried "diatheke to transliterate as it outputs".
I advise that this suffers from the weakness uncovered by my recent
researches.
Back conversion from this Latin transliteration would contain inaccuracies
in the Cherokee.
This should prompt us to consider how we might be able to

Has the reversibility of the Cherokee transliteration been thoroughly tested,
Chris?
While I was considering the back conversion it became apparent that the
Cherokee to Latin transliteration would include real instances whereby the
