Chris Gruber		> Since I'm not a citizen, maybe I could use the Talossa word for "outsider" as a surname and the Talossa equvilent of Dave or David. Can anybody help me with that?

What's "Rebedew" mean? Do you have a definition we can work with? It's usually best to use the meanings of your names for a Talossan name. Mine has changed as I've become more informed of my surname's definition, so there's that.

Chris Gruber		I don't really know what "Rebedew" means. It was originally spelled Robidou when Andre first came to Canada. When the Robidous came over the border into the US, few spoke english so immigration wrote the name the way they thought it was spelled. I've heard that the name has been spelled differently over forty times but, all Robidous are related. I know that Andre Robidou was half Spanish and half French. I hope this helps.

Chris Gruber		The name of Robidou is a pejorative diminutive of Robert and is traced back to the 13th century in Tintiniac, France, where last names were taken or given based on where the family was living :)

so yr talossan name would be: Davïu Rôibeardét

Chris Gruber		Thank you so much Ian. I didn't really know that about my surname, it's useful information to me. How do I get the little signs above the letters? I tired using the Talossan Characters chart but, no dice. Can somebody help?

If you're using a Windows PC, there are a few ways to do it. (If you're using anything else, I don't know enough to help you.)

1) You can use the Alt-key and the numeric keypad. In each case, hold down the Alt-key while typing the four digits on the keypad. You have to use the keypad, not the numbers above the keyboard -- oh, and make sure NumLock is on:
ï = Alt+0239
ô = Alt+0244
é = Alt+0233

The complete list of Alt-codes needed to type in Talossan can be found here.

2) You can use Windows' "Character Map" application. It should be under Programs / Accessories / System Tools.

3) If you have a recent version of Microsoft Word, say "Word 2000" or later, there are built-in keyboard shortcuts you can use:
ï = Ctrl-: followed by i
ô = Ctrl-^ followed by o
é = Ctrl-' followed by e

The complete list of Word shortcuts is on the same page as the Alt-codes.

4) You can download a separate piece of software like FrKeys or Quick Key. I've been playing with Quick Key and so far I like it. In fact, I built two new charsets, one for Talossan and one for Esperanto, which I sent to the author of the software; he's indicated he hopes to include them with the next release. Quick Key is free and can be downloaded from here.
