Yes, Liviu, that's exactly what I said. Please re-read my e-mail.
True. Wasn't attentive enough.

End of table.
Unfortunately, that will leave a lot of words spelt incorrectly. For example, the word "crea" should be "креа" and not "кря" because of syllabification; same for a few other words. Another inconsitent rule is that "obiect" should be "обьект" rather than "обиект", also for quite a few other words again because of its pronunciation.
"Creaţie" should well be spelled as "креацие" and not "кряцие". While "обиект" is wrong.
See, Cyrillic writing for Moldovan is very phonetic. How you pronounce
something changes how you write it. Romanian writing, on the other hand, is a bit more loosely phonetic, and seems unconcerned with distinctions between the different "i" sounds for example, or with writing words differently based on syllable rules.
Another *huge* problem is names. Romanian and Moldovan names should
convert just fine, but other names are a problem. What about "Mihail Sergheievici Gorbaciov"? That should be converted as "Михаил Сергеевич Горбачев" (I think; it might be ~чиов). Or what about "chabad"? That should be "хабад", not "кхабад".
