About Me
- Name: Shunra
- Location: Port Townsend, Washington, United States
The Shunras: based in Port Townsend, Washington, Dena translates, writes, and plays with wool; Daniel lives, translates, and hikes mostly in the same place, give or take a few thousand feet of elevation. Our name, Shunra means "the cat" in Aramaic. The three feline assistants keep the Shunra translation firm purring. We work in English, Hebrew, Dutch, and German.
