I really have to disagree with a spelling {danel} - of which you say, it comes closest! I do not know how this (Hebrew!) name is pronounced exact= =3D=0D ly in Norwegian, but if it is similar to German or Hebrew pronunciation, the spelling given by pycyn - {dani,el} - for sure comes closest! In German= =3D=0D , for me, there are - almost undiscernible - variants between Dani-el and Dan-jel= =3D=0D , and=20 so I hear - and see! - it in Hebrew: the spelling is dalet/nun/yod/aleph/la= =3D=0D med and I hear it pronounced like "Dani-=E9l", although the vowel "=E9" is written under yod instead of under aleph! Nevertheless the Roman transcription bein= =3D=0D g=20 "Danj=E9l" or "Dany=E9l"!!! So what? Maybe our Israelian friends can commen= t he=3D=0D re. mi'e .aulun.
