So maybe {la pyd.} According to Wikipedia, it's trasliterated "Bod" and pronounced "Pö". The article doesn't say where "Tibet" comes from, but maybe "bet" is related to "bod". I don't know how to pronounce Tibetan, but {pyd} sounds reasonable. phma -- AS d- s-: a+ c+++ p+ t f S+ e++ h r->++ n-(++)* i P- m++ M+
