https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skanda_(Buddhism)
In Buddhism, a deity is called Skanda (in Sankrit, I think). In Chinese, his name is Wei Tuo.
See for example the Wikipedia link about Skanda.
However, I wonder what's the correct spelling of this deity's Chinese name in English? Is it Wei Tuo or Weituo?
This is because I believe Chinese names in English are usually written together, for example Beijing or Tu Youyou (the Youyou part) instead of Bei Jing or Tu You You. What is the grammatical rule covering this?
