Phonetic transliteration commonly used for Western names like 'Daley' (Irish surname), 'Dalai' (Tibetan honorific), or 'Dallaire'. Don't confuse with
达赖 (Dálài, the standard rendering of the Tibetan title 'Dalai' as in Dalai Lama
达赖喇嘛) —
达莱 with
莱 (orache plant) is the personal-name variant, while
达赖 with
赖 (depend on) is the religious title.
