Without distracting from all of your absolutely brilliant and often coverted finds.
I would like to know where you got all the "y"s from... are they on sale somewhere? It does seem like a "blowout".
I know there is a certain level of anglisisation but as an Englishman I find it rather difficult to pronounce so many y noises.
I may be biased but j is also a "sometimes vowel" but sometimes the silence works best of all.
The way things are presenting themselves here "Эмма" would be presented as "Jemma" or "Yemma" but we are all familiar with "Emma" and know how to say it. We all, within our own languages (or within knowledge of other languages) know the emphasis.
Translit is NOT Anglicisation.
Andy Kaufman is dead but we are not Tony Clifton.
