Editorial Comment

Headword 1イェルン
Part-of-speechm
English 1Jeroen
ReferenceNo references but my own preference for my own name. The Dutch rendition of the (Dutch) name Jeroen lies between イェルン and イェルーン. Not that it is in anyway close to how you should pronounce it. If prefer the shorter form because in Dutch both vowels (the schwa-like "e" and the う like "oe") are about the same length, but as you can see on the mailinglist the other Jeroen prefers the longer form.
CommentWhat is the policy on multiple interpretations/readings of the same non-Japanese name?

ENAMDICT has イェルーン and ジェローン for my given name; can these be merged (with this entry as an additional reading) or is that only possible for EDICT?

If they can't be merged: ジェローン too is (m) (is now (u)).
NameJeroen Hoek

Editorial Comment At present no merging is possible as it's maintained in old EDICT format. I have fixed ジェローン.
