No I didn't just sneeze. ;) Something for you to try whilst on the stand at BETT...

 

Try work out your name in Inuktitut. You use the column to pick the nearest consonant in your name and the rows for what vowel the consonant is attached to. You must have a consonant and vowel alternating and never together. The final character is the row at the bottom and goes on the end of the word.

 

So CAM would be k[a]-m or ᑲᐊᒻ :)

 

ᔨᖁᒋᐊᒃ = Edugeek? It's a hard word to try converting to Inuit!

 

Grid: Inuktitut language, syllabary and pronunciation

 

Symbols: Inuktitut Syllabarium (not sure how to get the long dot).

Those charts have no e/'eh', so I can do Gara (ᒐᕋ) but not Garacesh

 

You pick the closest sounding vowel by substituting the e for the nearest similar vowel. Garakis? Garasis? Not even sure how to pronounce your name in English either! :)

 

The e had me stumped on Edugeek too.
