@beatstrings The word "tao" is sort of an enigma because it was orignally written in that form by an author with no proper understanding of Chinese, so it was viewed as an approximation of the way the orignally hanzi would be pronounced as translated through the old Wade-Giles romanization system, as opposed to the newer Pinyin romanization system which writes the word as "dao".
