You do realize that I share membership in that ethnic or religious group with jarnon. (I think we're both Ashkenazic.)
But I said it carefully. I didn't say jarnon was wrong. I said I'd usually seen it transliterated a different way. Saying it that way was designed to invite someone to educate me, if appropriate. --Bob
