Macron, not "macro".

use the macrons in the names. And, yes, this is a book written in
English.
But, yes, normally the macrons are not spelt out, because of technical
limitations and other reasons, why they appear as anagrams. The fact that
they (almost) anagrams is, by the way, not entirely a coincidence. "Kyo"
means "capital".
