For specific transliteration schemes, see Appendix C. 5.4 The Chinese characters at the intersection of the vertical row of consonants and the horizontal row of vowels in Table 1 are the transliterated Chinese characters of the pronunciation of the consonants and vowels. When the vowels form a syllable by themselves, they are transliterated with the Chinese characters in the vowel zero row in Table 1; and when the consonants other than ~ are pronounced alone, they are transliterated with the Chinese characters in the consonant zero row in the transliteration table. 5.5 If the Chinese character translation produces a phenomenon of literal meaning, the homophonic rising character of the syllable should be used for translation. For example, when "东", "南" and "西" appear at the beginning of a place name, they are transliterated with "栋", "楠" and " "; when "海" appears at the end of a place name, it is transliterated with "亥". 5.6 The Chinese characters "雅", "玛", "娜", "莉", "丽", "莎", "蒂" and "妮" in Table 1 are used for place names named after female names. 5.7 In Table 1, "弗\" is used for the initial part of the translated name; "夫" is used for the middle and final part of the translated name. 429 Each is GB/T 17693.6--1999.
