I know some of the basics but I’m still confused about certain rules. When does an S become a SS and when does it become a $ (and what about $$)? I also don’t know how to handle words that don’t have an S or a K in them.

I was hoping to translate the core BDS list, but some of them are proving challenging:

  • HP (Hewlett Packard)
  • Siemans
  • AXA
  • SodaStream
  • Ahava
  • Sabra
  • Puma
  • Israeli fruits and vegetables

I was thinking something like HeWaffen PacKKKard and SSodaSStream but I’m not sure about the rest.

Thanks.

Edit: Forgot to list Puma

    Your questions are understandable because you’re hitting the point in your MSE learning where the beginner vocabulary and syntax can’t keep up with the complexity of your communication needs. You’ll need to look into more advanced forms like semi-rhymes and contrary affixes. A simple and illustrative example of what I mean:

    Beginner: United SState$ of AmeriKKKa

    Intermediate: Disunited SSnake$ of AmeriKKKa
