The only query upon which I may be able to shed some light is that regarding transliteration. I've always understood it to mean tspelling a word from one language, using the letters of another. Shalom, for example is a transliteration from the Hebrew alphabet into the Latin. I suspect that vodka is a transliteration from the Cyrillic alphabet, as are names like Slobodan Milosevic, and Kosovo.
