{*QaySt} is how I'd write it, if I were to write it using "English" >
sounds.  How is it pronounced in Latin - {QIySto}?  Or, better, in Greek? 

But my obquestion is this...  Is the KBTP using >*QIStoS< for Christ?
This would seem the best, since Latin has Christus from Greek 
chi-rho-iota-sigma-tau-o-sigma....  BTW, don't I recall that this means 
"one anointed (with chrism)", a translation of Messiah? which would 
suggest that using a term that translates the concept of "chosen one" 
into Klingon would be more appropriate?

And also, >*yeSu'< for Jesus?
