Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen, wie der Ausdruck *Chörten* auf Englisch wiedergegeben werden kann. Er taucht in einem Text über tibetanische Thangkas auf, s.u.
Vielen Dank!

Der Chörten oder Stupa
Der Chörten/Stupa* ist ein Hauptsymbol des Buddhismus.
Über der Spitze des Chörten/Stupa befindet sich eine Mondsichel, in der eine Sonnenscheibe liegt. Die höchste Stufe des Bewusstseins wird hier als die Überwindung der Dualität angesehen. In der Mitte des Chörten, auf blauen Grund, das tibetische „OM“.
Chörten: Tibetische Bezeichnung

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Stephen Sadie, Ingo Dierkschnieder

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Thanks. It's funny that there are two ways of writing accepted in English. The question is, has it got an Umlaut in the Tibetian language?
agree BrigitteHilgner : The asker should have been able to find the answer him-/herself - a few seconds of googling are sufficient.

As the Kudoz rules advice to do, but apparently nobody reads them.
