Tips

usage

Phonetic transliteration: 拉 (lā) for "La-," 芙 (fú) for "-fi-/-fe-," 特 (tè) for "-te." Most likely renders the French surname Lafitte/Laffite (Jean Lafitte, the New Orleans pirate-privateer of the War of 1812 era) or English "Rafter." 芙 normally means "hibiscus / lotus" but here is pure sound.
