Hi Lilian,

Well, personally, when I have to write in Greeklish I prefer to follow the "orthographic" way (to reproduce Greek orthography closely in order to avoid ambiguity and allow semantic relations to emerge) of transliteration and not the "phonetic" one (kumbara).Thus,κου-μπ-αρα-->kou-mp-ara. As far as I know there are no rules.The only "rule" is understandability.
