How to transliterate Beowulf...



I was thinking about this one....

In Anglo-Saxon, eo is a diphthong [e@] (eh-uh) which evokes the sense of a 
Klingon {e'}...  (BTW, Anglo-Saxon ea was the diphthong [&@] (ae-uh))...

So the first part of the name should be {be'}...  I'm guessing that 
"wulf" might go well as {wuv} rather than {wulve'}....

So for shortness' sake, how's {*be'wuv} look?
