The Authentic Name

Unicode restoration and ASCII comparison

Scholarly Transliteration

Veles

The name survives in scholarly transliteration. Veles is the standard Slavic romanisation, documented in academic sources — “Cattle god, possibly wool”. Because the spelling uses only Latin letters, the form is the same in both ASCII and Unicode.

No indigenous writing system is securely attested for individual slavic names. The form shown is a modern scholarly transliteration.

ASCII Constraint

veles

The plain veles form is identical to the Unicode restoration. Because this name is already written in Latin letters, no diacritics, stress, or script information were lost — only capitalization differs.

Unicode Restoration

Veles

The Unicode restoration does not need to recover lost marks for Veles. Its value is canonical spelling and consistent cataloguing, not the reconstruction of erased orthography. The domain is readable as-is to both DNS and humanity.
