Tips

usage

Phonetic transliteration: 厄 (è) approximates the "Eur-/Ur-" or "-ers" sound, 斯 (sī) is the standard Chinese rendering for an English "-s" or "-ce." 厄 itself means "distress/calamity," but in transliterations it carries no meaning. Used for various names — e.g. Ers (a Marvel cosmic character), or as part of longer names like 厄斯金 (Erskine).
